and along the shore Of Brant Lake to
short distance beyond Graphite, q
good hard-surfaced road is afforded
but there the famous Tongue Mountain
IS encountered, which is dangerous and
practically impossible.
FROM Chestertown here is a hard
surfaced road through Weavertown,
North Creek, Aidenlair, passing Harris
Lake and Rich Lake to Long Lake.
there Is connection just beyond Aid
enlalr through Tahaw-us to the Tahawus
Club, which is at the north end of
sanford Lake and the south end of
henderson Lake. From Long Lake
motorists can get down to the north
end of Raquette Lake by turning south
at Long Lake, going through Deerland.
Ane car can be put aboard scow and
lowed through Raquette Lake There
are good hotels now open at Long Lake,
and If one cares to stop over a day he
can take very interesting trip on a
motor boat. which has an inclosed
cabin, carrying mail to all the camps,
the trip taking about five hours.
There is a dirt road which is mar
row, but passable, from North Creek to
indian Lake, thence on through Blue
Mountain Lake to Long Lake. From
Long Lake there is fair dirt road, in
dry weather, passing Clear Pond to
Little Upper Lake. From Little Tup-
per through Moody, along Upper Lake,
to the town of Upper Lake, good
hard-surfaced road will be found, ex-
ceptlng about four miles of unfinished
road which was graded and then aban-
doned by the contractors.
The run from Long Lake to Tupper
Lake is interesting, passing many
camps and going through the Whitney
game preserve. At Topper Lake CON
nect1on can be made to Piercefeld
Flow and Simon Pond.
There is ard-surfaced road, pass
ing numerous small lakes, running
along Upper Saranac Lake to Saranac
Junction, where a connection can be
made on dirt road along Clear Lake,
Upper st. Regis and Lower St. Regis
to Paul Smiths. To reach Paul Smith 8
from Saranac Junction the preferable
way is to go through Harrietstown and
Gabriels on hard-surfaced road. A
hard surfaced road is also found be-
tween Saranac Junction and Saranac
Lake. Also a good connection on a
hard road is afforded from Saranac
Lake to Loon Lake
The road is hard surfaced and in
good condition from Saranac Lake
through Lake Placid, along the west
branch Of the Ausable River through
Wilmington Notch, connecting with
the north and south trunk lines at
Jay, and on through Ausable Forks
to Keesville.
From Keesville to Plattsburg there
are two good hard surfaced roads, one
via Peru and South Plattsburg and
the other via Ausable Chasm and
Bluff Point. The Bluff Point route is
considered the better of the two. From
Schroon Lake to Ticonderoga there is
hard-surfaced road passing Paradox
Lake to Paradox, but from there on
the road becomes very narrow, passing
numerous summer camps, Chilson Lake,
and just beyond Chilson there are very
heavy grades into Ticonderoga.
Between Elizabethtown and West.
port the road is a fair dirt one, but
will no doubt be under construction
in very short time. From Saranac
Lake there is a hard surfaced atate
road through Paul Smiths, passing
Meacham. Lake to Duane Centre, and
from there on a county road starts
which is gravel and in good condition
to Malone. From Malone there is a
hard-surfaoed road to Rouse's Point via
Chateaugay and Mooers, excepting a
short stretch under construction be-
tween Malone and Chateaugay, where
a detour is necessary on fair dirt
road.
