Everything about Pharaoh Lake Wilderness Area totally explained
The
Pharaoh Lake Wilderness Area, an
Adirondack Park unit of New York's
Forest Preserve, straddles the
Essex County-
Warren County line in the towns of
Ticonderoga,
Hague,
Horicon and
Schroon. The county road along the east shore of
Schroon Lake forms the western boundary; to the north, private land and
NY 74 form the boundary. The state land boundary forms most of the remaining perimeter except for a stretch of
NY 8 on the south.
The area contains 39 bodies of water covering 1,100 acres (4.4 km²), 62.8 miles (101 km) of
foot trails, and 14
lean-tos.
Geography
Pharaoh Mountain is the only mountain of much size, although the smaller hills have very steep sides and cliffs, presenting more of an impression of relief than actually exists.
Forest
Fires have burned over most of the region in the past. As a result of this and the dry sites, much of the tree growth is coniferous with some white birch mixed in. The white pine-white birch type along the shores of several of the lakes and ponds adds immeasurably to their attractiveness. Stands of some of the best quality Adirondack hardwoods exist in the covelike pockets of the unburned area in the northeast.
Water
Pharaoh Lake, which gives the unit its name, is one of the largest lakes in the Adirondack Park totally within the Forest Preserve.
Recreation
The area is a popular destination for
hiking and
backpacking because of its proximity to the
Adirondack Northway.
