Franklin Falls Pond – Saranac River Campsites

|

This shows the campsites south-west of the Franklin Falls Pond/Reservoir. The Saranac River at this point is mostly navigable at higher level flows but it is shallow with lots of big boulders and some rapids. You will be hoping in out of your canoe. Most of the campsites can also be accessed by parking on the shoulder of the road and climbing down a steep bank to campsites along the shoreline.

Sprague Pond

|

Located a quarter mile north of Cedar River Road, about half way to Cedar River Flow at Moose River Plains, is the trail head for Sprague Pond. It's a short hike a quarter mile north of the road, along it's outlet creek to a modestly sized, swampy pond. Campsites along the pond are very informal, and lightly used.

Sacandaga Primitive Area – Whitehouse Campsites

|

The DEC recently GPS'd the various designated campsites at Whitehouse area of the Sacanadaga Primitive Area along West River Road in Wells. This provides a pretty accurate map of the various campsite locations. West River Road isn't open to motor vehicles yet, but will open later in May once the frost is out of the ground and the dirt road isn't too soft.
