Wolf Pond
Looking for a beautiful and accessible hike during your stay at Loon's Nest Cabin? Just a short drive away, the Wolf Pond trail offers a fantastic experience for all skill levels. If you're looking for a hike that's a bit of an easier challenge than the Buck Mountain Fire Tower trail, this is a great place to start!
This 2.3-mile loop trail offers a relatively easy trek with minimal elevation gain, making it perfect for families, casual hikers, or anyone looking for a more relaxed outdoor adventure. The trail meanders through classic Adirondack forest, following Wolf Pond Brook for much of the way. You'll enjoy picturesque views of the water and the surrounding wilderness.
The trail to Wolf Pond starts on Blue Ridge Road, about 10 miles west of Exit 29 (Route I-87) and about 14 miles east of Newcomb. The large parking area is on the right if you’re coming from the highway.
