74 THE ADIRONDACK^. 



Adirondack Eailroad, which is now extended to North Creek 

 Station, sixty miles from Saratoga, the above-named routes 

 are seldom used. 



The Fort Edward road leaves the Saratoga and Whitehall 

 railway at the station of that name, and extends to Long 

 Lake, a distance of seventy-five miles,, touching Lake George 

 'at Caldwell, Schroon Lake at Potterville, and passing within 

 easy access of Lakes Delia, Sanford, Henderson, Harris, and 

 Catlin. 



From the south, access is had to Bound Lake and Lakes 

 Pleasant and Piseco the well-stocked waters of the famed 

 " Piseco Club " by a good wagon road which leaves Little 

 Falls or Herkimer on the New York Central Bailroad. The 

 distance from Herkimer to the head of Piseco Lake is fifty- 

 two miles. 



The foregoing make up a list complete of all the highways 

 into the Adirondack Wilderness, with two exceptions. One 

 is a road to " Joe's Lake " in the lower part of Herkimer 

 county, which leaves the town of Prospect, on the Black 

 River Railroad ; and the other a boat route from Clarksboro, 

 on the Grasse River, to Massawepie Pond at its head. Clarks- 

 boro is an 'iron region at the terminus of a branch of the 

 Watertown and Potsdam Railroad. Massawepie Pond is 

 within striking distance of the Raquette River, near Pierce- 

 field Falls, and is visited by old hunters who mean business, 

 and are not afraid to camp out or follow a blind trail through 

 the woods. There are plenty of deer and trout there for 

 those who will hunt them in their season. Massawepie is acces- 

 sible also by the old Potsdam wagon-road to Tupper's Lake. 



The " circumbendibus " route generally taken by ladies 

 and gentlemen who purpose " doing" the Adirondacks 

 thoroughly, is from the foot of the Upper Saranac Lake, 

 three miles over the " Sweeny carry " to the Raquette River ; 

 thence through Big Tupper Lake and stream, via Round 

 Pond, to Little Tupper Lake ; thence through a series of 

 little ponds and connecting streams, with one three-mile
