Horseshoe Lake

By no means was Campsite No 9 on the Unnamed Road, particularly fancy. But it provided a place to camp, and was a three minute drive down to the lake. I could have gotten a spot on Horseshoe Lake most likely had I arrived in the morning, as it seemed like campsites tended to clear out in the morning.

This is about a mile after the pavement runs out on NY 421, just after the Bog River Flow / Lower Lows Dam Road turn-off

This is where the weird hair-pin turn appears on maps at the end of NY 421. I'm not sure why it follows this route, as the terrain is flat, but maybe at one time there was an inholding or private home located in here.

Heading swimming in a couple of minutes. The water was real nice.

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.
