A beautiful lake with old growth forest, accessible by foot only, in a remote area of the Adirondacks. Sorry if the camera shakes at one point, mosquitoes were fierce and hungry!!! Can anyone tell me where this is?

  • Sand Lake Five Ponds Wilderness been there AMAZING!

  • Your are right !!! This is one of the most beautiful areas I know... and wild ! Used to go there before the blowdown... Since then, nature has really taken over and life is everywhere. So are flies in june... But then, nothing is free ! Still miss the Leary trail and the huge trees in High Falls though...

    Thanks for your post !

  • It is a bummer that this clip is on here. Some places should just stay remote. I used to go to sand and never see anyone for days. Now it seems more and more people are going back there. It's too bad. I'll keep my secret spots off the web.

  • Sure, you can get to Sand by trail from Wanakena. If you feel like walking 11 miles one way. I'll stick to my way which requires only a 3 mile hike and some paddling. Sand lake is one of my favorite places in the 'dacks. Love those white pines on the esker!

  • Five Ponds has old growth forest. dustyboots27 does not know what he is talking about.

  • That is Sand Lake and the virgin whtie pines are on the esker separating Sand and Rock Lake.  I've been to this spot and the SW corner of Rock Lake, but couldn't find the esker trail. So wild!

  • BTW Rock lake is the adjacent lake that lies on the other side of the ridge you see behind the misty water

  • This is Sand Lake...and those ARE old growth white pines. I spent a weekend there last year, hiked 15 miles through swamps to get there...it is very beautiful...but omg don't go in the summer the bugs are insane

  • No roads, railroads, and many lakes would be there if not for logging. While I don't believe in the cut out-and-get out method encouraged by government leases or sellbacks, sustained yeild practices had been in place for over a century in some parts of the Adirondacks. AND studies prove thinned evergreen stands reflect heat in winter, where cutting rainforests for wood products instead raises global temps, then there is the issue of jobs and tax revenue, NYS wants to stop paying land taxes on

  • I love how peaceful this is, especially with the sun illuminating the mist.

  • weve got a decent amount of old growth trees in up in paul msiths, but yeah most of the land was fucked by all the paper and smelting towns

  • Wrong answer buddy - there ARE old growth forests remaining in the Five Ponds Wilderness where it was too remote for loggers to get to.
