The rain is pounding down on to East Canada Creek, as I am sitting under the tarp in the campsite.

This where Ferris Lake Road ends, at least the public portion. Theoretically one can bushwhack around the edge of the property, and eventually get to Ferris Lake, but this time of year it would be a challenge, as there is no formal trail that goes to Ferris Lake.

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.

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.

As seen along the Piseco-Powley Road, south of the sandy plains.

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.
