Cold Evening ...

Despite there being a lot of people up along the East Branch this weekend, it was a cold weekend on both days. That said, it's not a bad place to social distance -- the nearest campsite was a mile away, and despite them shooting riflably most of the weekend -- I couldn't hear it from my campsite and I doubt they could have heard my shooting either.

More about East Branch Sacandaga River...

Stretching between Wevertown and Wells along NY 8, the East Branch of Sacandaga River offers a picturesque route hosting roadside campsites and trailheads to secluded spots. While proximity to a well-maintained state highway makes these campsites accessible during shoulder seasons and winter (with snow shovel), traffic noise can be a drawback. The river features noteworthy sites like Griffin Falls, Cod Pond, the captivating Stewart Creek, the ruins of Fox Lair Camp, the East Branch Trail leading to East Branch Falls, and scenic Eleventh Mountain. This scenic drive intertwines nature and exploration, inviting travelers to discover hidden gems along the East Branch of Sacandaga River.
