Horseshoe Lake

When NY 30 enters Saint Lawrence County for about 5 miles, it grows very wide for 2-lane highway. The shoulders of the road must be 13-14 feet wide on both sides. It must have originally been planned a four lane highway, but later was re-striped as a 2 lane highway, as there is no reason for a highway that wide in this very rural stretch of the Adirondacks.

The water was somewhat choppy on Horsehoe Lake as there was a steady breeze as the weather was clearing out.

This is where NY 421 first hits the lake, heading west on NY 421 from Mountain Camp. You could say that it's other tip of the Horseshoe. About 3 campsites, spaced 1/2 mile apart, are located on the lake.
