West Canada Lake Wilderness - Spruce Lake - A day in the life of an Adirondack Lake
The West Canada Lake Wilderness in the Adirondacks is the second largest wilderness area in the park, encompassing 168,920 acres. For this trip I wanted to do something different. What kind of video could I make hiking to one site and spending 24 hours filming a day in the life of an Adirondack lake?
The trail starts off blazed with Yellow disks. Follow this up until you come to a right-turn with a sign pointing to Spruce Lake. Head up the trail until you intersect the Northville/Placid Trail which is blazed with Blue NPT disks. Go right at this intersection and follow the trail all the way to Spruce Lake.
-------------------------
From Speculator, NY head North out of town on Route 30.
Perkins Clearing Tract turn-off: 43°32'3.88"N / 74°23'4.28"W
Once in the Tract, stay on Jessup River Road to the parking area.
Parking Area / Trailhead: 43°31'25.04"N / 74°33'43.91"W
PLEASE READ
Perkins Clearing Tract is an active logging area so you may come across logging trucks, road closures due to logging activities, and your journey to the parking area is approximately 13 miles on a mix of hard-packed dirt and loose gravel. 4WD is highly recommended as is a fair bit of clearance. Also note, if you don't pay attention to the signs there is a good chance you will end up on roads that may get you lost, and in some cases, beyond what your vehicle can handle.
You may also notice that there are permanent camps throughout the area while driving on the road. DO NOT use these camp sites as they are leased properties and considered private. I'd highly recommend you read up on the Perkins Clearing Tract before you head out at www.dec.ny.gov...

Safe travels my friends, thanks for watching! I'll catch you all in the next one.
