Already it's the second half of the month. 🍁 September is rapidly fading into October, with lots of color and cooler weather for the coming weeks and months. I'm so busy these days, but look forward to many adventures in changing seasons.

Cod Pond Trailhead Camping Opporunities

 Cod Pond Trailhead   Camping Opporunities

This past weekend I camped at the upper of these two campsites. It was a nice open field surrounded by white spruce. I hadn't ever been back to this campsite, but being sheltered from the wind with great views oft he stars, it is clearly now one of my favorite sites along NY 8. I have not explored the lower site but I confirmed it existed -- or at least the driveway exists to it -- when I was up that way this past weekend.

Bourne Pond is a 2.75 mile hike from the end of Branch Pond Road, a scenic pond in the Lye Brook Wilderness with primative camping and an outhouse. A short side trip takes you down to Branch Pond.
