Hike to Auger Falls

Augers Falls is a not so well kept secret in the Wells/Speculator area of the Adirondacks. It's usually not very crowded but the people that go to take it in come from far and wide. It's an easy family friendly hike (and that includes furry family, just keep them on leash) that offers some fantastic spots to take a dip or soak up some sun before making your way to the star attraction.From the i...

Paddle the Sacandaga and Kunjamuk Rivers to Elm Lake

The Sacandaga River is accessed via a hand launch at the Speculator Ball Field Parking Area in the town of Speculator, NY. Follow the Sacandaga River 1.5 miles until you reach Kunjamuk Bay. The Kunjamuk River begins further up the bay to the left. Approximately 4 miles up river is Elm Lake. Paddlers will need to portage over a few beaver dams along the river. Once you reach Elm Lake, take in ...

Kane Mountain Fire Tower

The Kane Mountain fire tower is one of the more frequented Adirondack towers due to the ease of the trail and its proximity to so many Caroga Lake camping areas. The short hike is family friendly and available year round, part of the trail doubles as a cross country skiing trail in fact. Driving down Green Lake Road, just before the end you'll see a fork to the left which leads to the parking ...

Due to the rockiness, when you're thinking about heading out for this hike, be sure to grab a sturdy pair of hiking boots or at least your sturdiest athletic shoes; it's a good idea to have stable footwear with good ankle support. Because th...

Hike Pillsbury Mountain Fire Tower

Pillsbury Mountain is a fairly short but satisfying hike, ending with beautiful views of surrounding mountain ranges and lakes, and home to a defunct ranger station and fire tower. To get to the parking area within the Perkins Clearing wilderness area, head north on Route 30 out of Speculator and make a sharp left onto the dirt road immediately after Mason Lake. Continue on the dirt road for se...
