Cancelled: Five Notable Hikes, Puffer Pond
The Five Notable Hikes of New York’s portion of the NCNST showcase some of the most expansive and interesting scenery in the state. And, with this hike series, Trail users can explore all five locations in a group setting with experienced North Country Trail hike coordinators.
The longest hike in the series, this 11-mile roundtrip is located in the Siamese Ponds Wilderness in the central Adirondacks near the hamlet of North River. Hikers should be prepared for minor rerouting due to industrious beavers and blowdown. The trail features two lean-tos for rest and snacks, and views of Chimney and Bullhead Mountains.
Registration is required and capacity is limited. Registration for this hike is open as of July 10.
