Description


Trailhead at Whitehouse in Wells, NY.
Hike into the Gorge on the West Branch of the Sacandaga River (fishermans trails and Bushwhack)which features 2 eddys and 5 waterfalls. Camp overnight and hike back out on Sunday.

This is he best kept secret in the Southern Adirondacks, to see more, check out my
Blog


I also have space for camping in my yard if people want to get up a day early to be rested before the trek.

Great Hike. Moderate in difficulty, a little rock climbing and some climbing.
Rock hopping if the river is not too wild and also a ford through a stream.

Not for beginners.

This trip is listed in both the ADK Southern Adirondacks Guide and Discovering the Southern Adirondacks by Barbara McMartin.
