The ladies and I spent a few days in the Adirondacks on Lake Lila a motor free public lake. It was spectacular! We didn't climb the mountain though... because the mama and baby moose got in the way.

Beautiful. Very wise of you to call a truce with the moose on the loose.

glatt · 07-16-2015, 08:56 AM

Absolutely gorgeous! I am full of envy.

BigV · 07-16-2015, 10:13 AM

Magnificent!

Thanks for sharing the pictures.

It really looks like you had the lake to yourself too. Were there many other people there? It's not a huge lake, but big enough that you could have a few groups with lots of space in between.

Looks like the parking area is a quarter mile from the lake. Did you have to carry your stuff that far, or could you get closer?

Campsite #2 looks... uh, damp.

BigV · 07-16-2015, 10:39 AM

Damp? Nah, just heavily promoated.

What a gorgeous place. It's so peaceful-looking. I want to go there and boat and sit around the campfire, and sleep like the proverbial log. On a log, even.

The DEC controls where people are allowed to camp. It was actually a busy weekend up there but there are not enough sites for it to get crowded by any stretch. If you don't find an open site you have to move on.

Griff · 07-17-2015, 06:22 AM

I forgot to mention that it's a motor free lake so no jet ski nonsense. When we got home we were greeted bright and early by the continuous 4 wheeler nonsense. Don't kids ever work anymore? In my day...

xoxoxoBruce · 07-17-2015, 07:50 AM

OK, so campsite #2 has an island under it to cut down the dampness.
