Bike / Hike - Kushaqua

This is a combination mountain bike and hike outing, starting in the Buck Pond Campground / Beach parking lot (Onchiota). We will pedal up the eastern shore of Kushaqua Lake, past the Little Haystack trail head, continuing north past Mud Pond along Kushaqua Mud Pond and Thatcherville roads, looping around Mountain and Line ponds, before returning along Kushaqua Mud Pond road to the Little Haystack trail.  The cycling terrain is mostly rolling hills, with a few tricky technical climbs over rough terrain, with loose rocks.  A mountain bike (or fat-tired hybrid) is required.  No eBikes, please. Little Haystack is a moderate hour-long hike with a steep section near the top.  The view from the top is very nice, and a great place to enjoy lunch. Following the descent is a brief pedal back to the Buck Pond lot. Hosted By: North Woods Chapter. Region: Adirondacks - Northern Region. Activity Category: Biking. Hiking. Trip rating: B.
