    Last Sat and Sun (1/18 and 1/19) I did a little exploring. Short story is the Tree Farm and Perkins Clearing were good riding and lakes were nice. Getting there was tough as woods trails are thin and bumpy. Not enough snow on woods trails for the groomers to do much, so I think until we get some decent snow they won’t get better. Logging in both the Tree Farm and Perkins, so not all trails are open and the bypass trails are rough.

    The river trail had muddy spots – someone was stuck in a mudhole so once I found they did not need my help I turned around and took the trail behind the welcome to Speculator sign and down rt 30 to get to the tree farm that way. Took Fawn Lake trail out to Perkins and that was very rough riding.

    I would not travel from far away expecting good riding, but if you are reasonably local or could trailer to the north end of Perkins or near the Tree Farm you could do some decent riding.

    Thanks 500ss
    We dont plan on going this way as we know there is more snow and the trails thru Morehouse as always are the best. The west end of Piseco always gets more lake effect than the Spec area.

    The new trail using Fawn Lake Road to get from Sacandaga to Oxbow really sucks. Totally enjoy riding the edge of the road for a half-mile. Three cheers for the knuckle draggers that caused the property owners to shut down the original trail off of Higgins Bay.
