For after a great ski/skidoo/or pratfall!

Just broke C-country trail round CascadeLake (5.4 miles)

Cascade Lake (Note: Hike no. 27 in the AMC Guide to Trails: Book 5) was a summer camp for 50 girls (with a stable of 25 horses) in the 40's. Let's just say, it's been a while! This trail is much more fun to ski than hike - the falls always kinda- disappointed me, and the blow downs and wet area on the east side of the lake are a problem (had to remove my skis several times to climb over or under some real messy falls) However, once you hit the waterfall (which is hard to find if you have never been there before) the route west of Cascade Lake is easier. I would suggest skiing this in a counterclockwise fashion. Andy and I were both pooped long before we made it back to the trail head. All in all, there are nicer skis, but it was good exercise and a pleasant variation.
To get to the trailhead: From NY 28 in Eagle Bay, drive NY on Big Moose rd. for 1.2 miles. There are CED Yellow trail stickers for skiers (red for hikers).
