Vanderwhacker

The Vanderwhacker Mountain Wild Forest is a 92,000-acre (370 km2) tract made up of almost 2 dozen non-contiguous parcels that are designated as Wild Forest by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation in the central Adirondack Park. The area contains 44 ponds and small lakes, and portions of the Hudson and Boreas Rivers. The area supports hiking, birding, snowmobiling, Nordic skiing, hunting, camping, canoeing, and fishing. The area is served by NY-28.

Towards Sand Pond Mountain

It is the mountain peak in the distance, with Cheney Pond and an unnamed ridge in the foreground. Along that shore there, not visible in this picture, is the paddle in campsites, and the Cheney Pond Lean-To.
