![]() Hello All,
I am planning on bringing a couple friends up to the Adirondacks this Sunday. I am looking for an overnight trip that has the following qualities: - Low milage - Good views is possible - Secluded The only experience I have in the ADK is peak bagging in the high peaks so I am very inexperienced with these types of trips. Ideally, I would like a camp site less than 2 miles from a trailhead where we could set up a base camp and just enjoy the outdoors. They don't necessarily want to hike, but having trails nearby would be a huge plus! They really just want to be able to sit around in the woods and enjoy the nature, being near a body of water or any other scenery would be a huge plus as well. Any suggestions? I thank you all in advance! |

Drive in to the Moose River Plains, park and hike into one of the ponds perhaps.

Moose River Plains is a good idea; lots of small-medium day hikes and a really unique area.
The problem with your criteria of low mileage is that everyone else will have the same idea and seclusion is at a premium. Maybe Sargeant Ponds or a Pond in the Pharaoh lake area? |

Curious....Is this a planned trip that is connected with the Adkhighpeaks Foundation?
Moose River Plains has something for everybody. The Ferris Lake Wild Forest Area also comes to mind... |

I figured a low milage site that was also secluded would be pretty hard to come by, but your suggestions thus far are great! |
