Trail Description:
A one-mile walk to an impressive waterfall, or walk two miles and
discover three falls,
each more lovely than the last. Because the trail follows and crosses
a stream hiking is only
appropriate in times of low water.After crossing a substantial
snowmobile bridge over Tenant
Creek, immediately look for an unmarked trail on the right. Follow it
back to the creek and
cross on rocks (or wade). Clamber up the shallow ridge on the opposite
shore and locate the
path again - it will follow the creek. the trail may become faint, but
it is impossible to get
lost as long as you keep the creek on your left. You will arrive at
the first waterfall...a
satisfactory destination for young children. Youngsters should be
warned about climbing to the
top of falls to look down, since the rocks can be slippery.
If you are hiking with older youngsters, continue with the creek on
your left to find
waterfalls two and three. This walk is tougher, with many tree roots
to negotiate, but the
mossy glen and wild rocks that comprise the settings for the last two
falls are magnificent.
Directions to Trailhead: Finding the trailhead takes some concentration. Look for an unmarked county road off of Rt. 30 between Wells and Northville. If heading north, once you pass the Benson Rd. on the left, the unmarked road is on your right in roughly a 1 to 1.5 miles. If traveling south, look for a cemetary on a low hill to the left, and take the road immediately beyond it. Follow the road as it bends sharply to the right and continue 1.5 miles to a sign that says Hope Falls Rd. Turn left onto this road and continue for 7.7 miles, bearing left a each of two "Y's". Park at the small area at the end of the road. The sign refers to Wilcox Lake, and the trail follows the Wilcox Lake Trail briefly. |

Trail Description:
This may just be the easiest summit hike in the Adirondacks, and its
gently grade and pleasing view make it
a proud accomplishment for older walkers as well as children. The
trail proceeds south and enters a
hardwood forest. At .9 miles there is a look out to the east,
prefaced by a large boulder. The summit at 1.1 is
wooded, but there is another look out several hundred feet beyond the
summit. A good site for a picnic. A 2.2
mile round trip.
Directions to Trailhead: Located off of Rt. 28/30 between Blue Mountain Lake and Indian Lake, Sawyer's trailhead parking is well-marked. Find it on the west side of the road, six miles east of Blue Mountain Lake. |
