This campsite on the pond is not right on the lake (which is good thing from an environmental perspective), but still offers close access. You can drive right up to it, which makes me happy, being that I prefer truck camping.

There are a series of hunting campings and private houses located along the other shore. The state only owns about 1000 feet of frontage along the lake, basically enough for a campsite and a parking area.

It's pretty small when you think of it being only 2,584 acres, but maybe because it's next to a 12,000 acre forest or in comparison to the 50,000 or 100,000 acre wild forests and wilderness of the Adirondacks.

There really is not a lot of road signs up here, just lots of unmarked rough dirt roads, with big posted signs along them to discourage the non-locals from coming up here and exploring.
