It remains the most thorough guide available, covering not only the marked trails but all of the traditional footpaths and the best bushwhacks as well.

historical interest—they are all here. As you hike the trails, learn how many of them trace their origins to wagon roads used by early settlers. Penetrate into the deep core of the forest—a wilderness as remote and secluded as they come.

Located generally north of Great Sacandaga Lake, you will find dozens of trails and routes located near Northville, Wells, Johnsburg, Hadley, and Lake Luzerne. Included are Hadley Mountain, Crane Mountain, and Pine Orchard.

This edition of Discover the Southeastern Adirondacks features updated trail information, dozens of photographs, many new route descriptions, and newly redesigned trail maps—making this the definitive guide to the Wilcox Lake Wild Forest.
