Come join us for a hike in the Thendara-Old Forge area of the West-Central region of the Adirondacks. We will be hiking to Middle Settlement Lake via the Scusa Trail, which takes us to a wilderness lake and lean-to. Theresa's last visit to this beautiful lake was a bit of a shock as beaver activity or other forces of nature had shrunk the lake. We will see how nature has restored it over the last couple of years. Please join us bringing water, lunch, proper footwear and hiking poles (optional) in our quest.
