9 Corners Lake: Southern Adirondacks, NY

A well-worn trail reaches the shore of Nine Corner Lake at 1.0 miles. It's an easy hike with an elevation gain of only 294 feet. It's a great bouldering area in a beautiful lakeside setting. Expect crowds, as the lake is a popular camping/party spot, however these masses rarely if ever venture into the area with the bouldering.
The boulders at Nine Corners Lake have more routes than any other spot in the Adirondacks. Most of the boulders are clumped together into four areas. Follow the trail to the dam at the lake's outlet, then cross the dam. A herd path straight ahead leads to Middle Earth, the main area, with The Meadows off to the left, Stonehenge to the right, and the Cliff Area behind Middle Earth. Send away!
