There are several campsites a on side roads, little ways off of NY 30, as you head North from Northville towards Wells NY. These campsites are nice if you starting off into the Adirondacks, and are looking for a convenient place to camp for the night, and want campsites quieter then those on NY 8 / East Sacanadaga River.
These sites are all designated with official โCamp Hereโ discs.

None of these campsites are particularly fancy, although there is a single outhouse for the first grouping of campsites on the southern port of the road.
All of the campsites run along Stoney Creek โฆ
Pumpkin Hollow.
The campsites are a ways back on Pumpkin Hollow Road, a dirt road, beyond Willis Lake and the camps along it. Pumpkin hollow is a short ways south of the Sacanadaga River DEC Campground, it starts out as a paved road by a white house, then eventually a mile or two back becomes unpaved and one lane.

There is a new high-tech device coming to communities across America. Itโs being billed as a solution to reduce government waste, create jobs, create โgreenโ electricity, and best of all provide a great way to use taxpayer dollars. Itโs called municipal cash incinerators.
Many people have not heard of the concept of burning taxpayer dollars to create electricity. Yet, studies have shown itโs a remarkably good way. Why burn perfectly good coal or natural gas, when you can burn municipal cash? We all know that renewables like solar and wind can not power a society. So there is only one real choice: Municipal Cash Incinerators.
How does this advanced technology work? Using a high-tech process, $1 bills bought using municipal tax dollars, obtained through property taxes and government grants, are burned in a large furnace that heats water to steam and turn a turbine. This turbine generates electricity. Best off all, because money is green in color, it is a green process. Moreover, money spend on cash burners will not be wasted on less productive governmental purposes like roads and schools.
There are many good reasons to burn municipal cash:
For one, if government starts hoarding $1 bills rather then storing the money in a normal bank account, city halls across the country would be overwhelmed with all this paper cash.
If this cash was used for productive purposes it would continue the money in the economic cycle and help drive inflation up.
Many conservatives feel that inflation is the biggest risk facing our society today.
Some activists are complaining about municipal cash incinerators. They say itโs stupid to burn taxpayer dollars. Some are even suggesting that constructing municipal cash incinerators is an outright fraud, a stealing of peopleโs hard earned dollars. So what? Government has to spend the publicโs money somehow.
On a very cold Saturday afternoon, I decided to drive out to Five Rivers and take some pictures. I wanted to get pictures of the setting sun, but it did not happen due to the snow squal that came blowing in. Hereโs what I got.
Blowing Snowโฆ
It certainly was cold enough there when I was walking. If it had been nicer, I probably would have headed out of town.
Deer Picsโฆ
The deer really arenโt all afraid of humans at Five Rivers. You can almost walk up and touch them, as they know that hunting is prohibited in this area.
