Wilcox Lake Wild Forest

Wilcox Lake Wild Forest is located in the southeastern part of the Central Adirondacks and is made up of approximately 140,000 acres of State Forest Preserve lands in Warren, Hamilton, Saratoga and Fulton Counties. Nearby communities include Stony Creek, Thurman, Bakers Mills, Day, Wells, Hope Falls, and Northville.

Wilcox Lake Wild Forest is bounded on the north by NY 8, on the east by the Hudson River, on the south by the Adirondack Park Blue Line, and on the west by NY 30. This wild forest offers many recreational opportunities, including hiking to the fire tower on Hadley Mountain, camping on Wilcox Lake, and ice fishing on Garnet Lake. With over forty-five miles of marked trails available, there are countless opportunities for hiking, skiing, and snowmobiling in the unit.

Tenant Creek ATV Trail

This is beyond the forest preserve boundary, somewhat past the end of the official blazed Tenant Creek Trail, following a herd path. Not sure if this even is a public road, it doesn't appear on the SAM (state address management) map, but is on some topographic maps.

The River

It was covered with a icy film, and you can kind of see the ice on all of the trees. Not exactly what I was expecting for late April camping in the Adirondacks.
