Route Guidance
Trail Overview
Nine Corner Lake is a well-used southern Adirondack lake destination in Ferris Lake Wild Forest, reached from parking along NY Route 29A near Pine Lake. The route starts from the Nine Corner Lake Trail parking area and follows a wide, worn old-road-style trail before reaching the lake. The lake is known as a popular warm-weather swimming and camping spot, with designated primitive campsites nearby. It is generally approachable, but not pristine or secluded in peak season, and the trail can be wet or muddy.
