Scarface to Pine Pond
This route only requires 1.6 miles of new trail but will provide you a nearly six mile hike, bike, or ski to Pine Pond. It would link to the Saranac River - Pine Pond Trail that was my first recommendation providing a 12 mile route. It could also be taken back out to Averyville. This short new trail would provide multiple options.

Name

4.  Scarface to Pine Pond

Access/Description

From the Scarface mountain trail head  on the Ray Brook Road following an access road to private property with a new trail over to Pine Pond.
Difficulty:
This is hard to determine. The trip from Ray Brook all the way to route 3 is relatively long but mostly downhill. The terrain is easy but the distance makes it more challenging.

Distance

5.75 miles

Thoughts/Issues

Much of this trail already exists. This trail and #1 would provide access to the existing trail to Averyville. It could be a multi-use year around trail.  It require only 1.6 miles of new trail. The rest already exists
