Itinerary description

Stewart Lake & Indian Lake is a 4.5 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail located near Caroga, New York that offers the chance to see wildlife and is rated as easy. The trail is primarily used for hiking, running, nature trips, and snowshoeing and is accessible year-round.

This is a hidden gem of the Southern Adirondacks. It shares a trailhead with the immensely popular Kane Mountain. The trail is well-marked and easy to follow. It is a great way to see two secluded and peaceful lakes. Stewart Lake is easily visible from the trail at about 1 mile or so into the hike. The shoreline of Stewart Lake is surrounded by a bog and is only easily accessed if you bring waders or something similar. At the end of the journey you are brought to Indian Lake, which is one of the most peaceful spots in all the Southern Adirondacks. The trail ends at the shore of this scenic and untouched beauty. If you desire you could easily dip your feet in our even go for a swim. A great way to spend a few hours, especially when some other trails can get busier. This is also a great hike for those who wish to do a somewhat lengthier hike that offers relatively forgiving terrain and elevation.
