Me and a buddy are starting an annual tradition (this will be the second year) of doing a saddle bag trip on Super Bowl weekend.
He has a camp in Montague and last year we did Montague to Old Forge to Indian Lake to Newcomb and then spent the night on the Long Lake. The following day we went to from Long Lake to Sabattis to Stillwater to Brantingham and back to Montague.
We would like to do another, but slightly different loop, this weekend. And we would like to avoid Old Forge, if possible. We are OK with 200+ miles per day.
Any suggestions?
A ambitious loop for you guys would be from Indian Lake south thru Perkins Clearing to Oxbow for gas, lunch or dinner. Ox Bow motel right there but call ahead for reservations. If you can’t get into the motel you will have to back track into Spectacular about 20 minutes of lakes for a motel. From here go west over Piseco Lake, thru Morehouse trail system (Excellent trails ) into the Ohio Club system (good trails but a lot of traffic on week ends) You then can go north and cross Hinkley Reservoir (Lot of sleds crossing OK). Now your into Penn Mountain system (also good trails ( but beat on week ends). Still going north you got options to go into Trackside Trail Blazer trails towards Old Forge or head north west closer towards where you want to go. Or reverse your trip. Watch your gas. (from Oxbow only gas is at the Ohio Tavern-35 miles or gas at Hinkley crossing on RT 365
We rode from Piseco this past Saturday thru More House into Ohio and on the the Alamo Inn @ Newport. (Excellent all the way going but a little chewed up coming back) but I’ve seen it worse.
PS I would’nt spend the money for a Old Forge permit just to get thru. You can ride to Big Moose Lake around and head to Raquette Lake then to Indian Lake
