Jessup River Wild Forest

This short 0.7-mile path provides access into the Jessup River Wild Forest, a large backcountry unit west of Indian Lake known for its remote ponds and old logging roads. The trail itself is brief enough to serve as a connector or approach rather than a destination hike. Expect typical Adirondack lowland forest and potentially wet sections depending on season.
