Log Homes of Albany County
Log homes aren't popular in the city or the suburbs. But they are popular along the Heldeberg Escarpment and along more hilly-terrain of the hill-towns.
Sly Pond
The remote Sly Pond is one of the highest bodies of water in Adirondack Park at an elevation of 2,872 feet. It was once infamous for being a marker of how acidic Adirondack lakes had become by the eighties, with the DEC recording in 1980 the pond having an acidity of 3.54 which is about as "acidic as a dill pickle".
Penn Yann
Penn Yan, the name of the village, is said to have been contrived from the first syllables of "Pennsylvania" and "Yankee", as most of the early settlers were from Pennsylvania and New England; the latter were known as Yankees. It became a trading center for the agricultural county, with mills for lumber, buckwheat and other grains. The village was the western terminus of the former Crooked Lake Canal.

Red Horse Trail
![Red Horse Trail [Expires January 23 2024]](https://andyarthur.org//data/photo_007889_large.jpg)
The Red Horse Trail in the southern Five Ponds Wilderness of the Adirondacks is a historic, challenging trail dating back to 1922. Spanning five miles from Big Burnt Lake to Clear Lake, it features serene lakes, old-growth forests, and wetland boardwalks. Divided into three sections, the trail's remoteness and limited access, primarily by boat, preserve its wilderness character. Highlights include Salmon Lake, Witchhopple Lake, and Clear Lake, with a mix of challenging and level terrain. The trail offers opportunities for camping, canoeing, and kayaking, providing a genuine wilderness experience away from more frequented Adirondack trails.
