User input for Oxshoe Pond, Adirondack Mountains, Essex County, New York:
Michael: What a terrific place to spend the night or even a few days. I went there on my first hike ever, and I am going back this week. It is about a 3-4 hour hike into the trail, but man is it worth it. If you are lucky enough to be the only group there, you will find a lean-2 and fire pit all to yourself. Also, there is a very secluded pond(oxshoe pond) in the same valley, that is just spectacular. A row boat is on hand to use for free for anyone at the site. No cell service with Verizon there, but then again, who needs that? lol again though, an absolutely amazing place to spend a few nights.

A visit to Oxshoe Pond is always a good idea. Not enough hours in a day to enjoy the Adirondack Mountains. There are some fine whitewater spots on Schroon River, and there's brilliant hiking along the Long Swing Trail. Oxshoe Pond is a glorious spot to visit for more than one day, Medcalf Acres Campsite is a glorious spot to camp nearby, and Crab Pond is a nearby lake that you could go to. The amount of precipitation that falls at Oxshoe Pond is close to the

at Oxshoe Pond if you like the outdoors. Echo Lake Southwoods is a perfect campground nearby; whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then, we recommend Putnam Creek. All the outdoors fun things in the Adirondack
Mountains will keep you coming back repeatedly. If you need a spot to stay The Sagamore is a good choice; don't leave Oxshoe Pond without first going for a hike along the Pharoah Mountain Trail. The warmest time of the year at Oxshoe
Pond arrives with high temperatures in the 70's, and through the night it cools down to the 50's. For the period of the winter highs are in the 20's with winter lows in the 0's overnight here at Oxshoe Pond. This lake is located
