Directions to Trailhead Trail Map
The hike to Nine Corner Lake is another
very popular hike in the Southern Adirondacks, and the trail head is
the closest of all to Southern Adirondack Pines. The trail is
only a 5 minute walk through the main section of the campground.
The Nine Corner Lake trail is a fairly
easy one, so it is perfect for all members of your family. The trail
is approximately 2.0 miles round trip. The trail has several climbs,
but none are too steep or long. The trail follows a beautiful
stream - the stream separates into several waterfalls about halfway to
the lake.
Nine Corner Lake has crystal clear
water, with several large rock outcroppings along it's shores. Unlike
many of the lakes in the area, Nine Corner Lake is quite deep along
the shoreline, making for great swimming - in fact, on a warm summer
day you may see other hikers carrying inflatable rafts back to the
lake to help enjoy the water!
As the Nine Corner Lake trail is part
of the snowmobile trail system in the winter, there is the option to
continue on to the left past the lake if you want to extend you hike.
