Piseco-Powley Road

NY DEC maintains 4/10th of a mile of Ferris Lake Road, which is a dead end without a turn around -- as the sign says. I was hoping to hike it to the end, then bushwack around Camp Watagah, but the rain made the creeks too flooded to successfully bushwhack around this inholding.

This is another campsite that is right on the road, in the beautiful open area of the sandy plains portion of Piseco Place.

This is near the notch between East and West Notch Mountains.

Along Piseco-Powley Road there are no facilities at the campsites, simply places to pull off the road a little bit, to set up a tent or camp in your truck or RV or however you do it. Simple, but it works.

The out house looked like it was in decent shape. This is surprising, as there are no other sites AFAIK with outhouses. This is disappointing, as outhouses help improve backcountry sanitation.

This one was quite large and located a ways off the road, with some privacy. This is rare for the campsites, which are mostly right on the road. Obviously, if your into tent camping, your free to get much farther off into the back country.

If you got really drunk, you could easily stumble out into oncoming traffic, if you where unlucky enough to see a passing car at night. Not very likely though, as this 12-mile dirt road is rarely traveled.
