Hike to Nine Corner Lake!

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. This trail accesses several areas that have become popular throughout the Northeast for the sport of bouldering
