UPDATE
I have had so much interest in this series  I thought I would encourage people to submit what trail they think should be built. Let's keep this conversation going and, if you would like, share a trail in the Saranac Lake area that you think might be appropriate for one or more outdoor recreation uses. Once I have completed posting my ten trails (and an additional blog post or two wrapping up my thoughts on the topic) I will start posting trails submitted that I think are appropriate. You can make your submissions by send them to me HERE. Let me hear from you.

Trail #5 - Saranac Lake to Moose Pond
This trail would be four miles of new trail linking up to my trail described in trail #2 to make a five and a half mile trail to the Moose Pond Road or a five an a half mile trail to route 3. When linked with my trail #3 it would provide a ten mile route from the Mckenzie Pond Road to the Moose Pond Road (or route 3.) If the trail proposed by the  Village of Saranac Lake Draft Bicycle + Pedestrian Trail Master Plan from the top of Baker Mountain to the Waste Water Treatment Plant is built it would add  another link to this trail system.
Picture

Name

5. Saranac River/ Moose Pond

Access/Description

From the Waste Water Treatment Plant to Moose Pond.
Difficulty:
Easy - This would be gentle terrain

Distance

5 1/2 miles

Thoughts/Issues

This would be an all new trail through the McKenzie Wilderness . It should be made accessible by all but snowmobiles. (would need regulatory change to get bicycles)

These are the type of trails that Barbara McMartin advocated for when she was on the Forest Preserve Advisory Committee.

The most effective way to treat the Sewage Water for utility is by enriched Bacteria digested in aerobic multi chambered and by treating with organic compound.
