Siamese Ponds Wilderness Area

Siamese Ponds Wilderness Area is a large protected tract in New York’s Adirondack Park and part of the state Forest Preserve. Spanning roughly 18 miles north to south and 13 miles at its widest, it occupies a defined section of the central-southern Adirondacks among lakes, mountains, roads, and private holdings. Its landscape is marked by low rolling hills, several summits above 3,000 feet, abundant water, wetlands, and varied forest cover. Notable features include Thirteenth Lake, Chimney Mountain and its ice caves, Puffer Pond, the Siamese Ponds, Augur Falls, and John Pond. With limited development, foot trails, and lean-tos, it remains focused on protection and quiet backcountry recreation.
