Little Woodhull Lake

On a sunny but cool February day, we strapped on our snowshoes and trekked on a little used path from the North Lake Road in the town of Ohio towards Little Woodhull Lake. Upon seeing the trail register, we knew that we would be in for solitude since we were the only ones to sign it in over a month.

Although marked as a snowmobile trail, the path was little used and barely maintained. We found ourselves looking through underbrush for the next trail marker at many points along the way. The pleasant weather made us want to take our time.

When we arrived we had a picnic on the shore and followed the shoreline around to the southern bay of the small lake. In another season we may have ventured across to explore Lily Lake but this year has had too many thaws for us to trust the ice.

We had sore legs on our way out but enjoyed our solitude for the day as we got to explore a little visited part of the Adirondacks.
