Please respect the materials and avoid disturbing or moving any lumber materials you find during your adventure. As volunteers and DEC Staff prepare for this work, the materials are moved and stored along the trail system or near lean-tos. During the spring fly-in window, with the help of NY State Police Aviation, the DEC moved materials into the backcountry to support these projects. Multiple Lean-tos in the Flowed Lands area and Marcy Brook are being repaired during the 2023 construction season.The Moose Pond Horse Trail, which leaves the Newcomb Lake Road north of the Camp Santanoni Farm Complex provides access into the High Peaks Wilderness, the areas west of the Santanoni Mountain Range and connects with the Cold River Horse Trail Network. Saddle horse use north of Shaw Pond to the Cold River Horse Trail Junction may be very difficult to navigate. The Moose Pond Horse Trail has extensive blowdown and has grown in considerably north of Shaw Pond.The High Peaks Wilderness webpage provides information about the area, its recreational opportunities, and the special regulations that serve to protect the natural resource of the wilderness and the experience of those who visit.The amendments describe the management, access, and public recreational opportunities available for the lands and waters on this tract of land.
