This 4.4-mile trail connects Wilcox Lake to Willis Lake in the southern Adirondacks, serving as a backcountry link between two remote ponds. The route is part of the Siamese Ponds Wilderness trail network, where distances are measured in effort rather than miles. Expect moderate terrain typical of mid-elevation wilderness travel, with the trail primarily used by anglers and paddlers accessing the more secluded Willis Lake.
