Hike to Marion Pond
This is a lovely small pond. The walk begins at the Loch Muller trailhead (south end of the Hoffman Notch trail) towards Bailey Pond. Prior to reaching Bailey, we will turn onto an old road. This road crosses 2 brooks, which are no longer spanned by bridges. When the route leaves the old road, it follows paint blazes up to and then along a ridge until reaching the pond. The total elevation gain is about 600'. Meeting Time/Place: 8:20 at the Black Bear in Pottersville, or ready to hike at 9:00 from the trailhead.
From Rt 9 in the hamlet of Schroon Lake, take Hoffman Rd for 6.2 miles, then turn right onto Loch Muller Rd. Drive about 1.5 miles all the way to the parking area at the dead end. From Olmstedville, take Irishtown Rd (which becomes Hoffman Rd, turn left onto LM Rd) or Trout Brook Rd (turn left onto Hoffman Rd, then right onto LM Rd). Please specify whether you will meet the group at the BB or the TH.
