Locate the trailhead along NY 10 just after one of the bridges that cross the west branch of Sacandaga River. Park at the pullout on the side of the road look for the trailhead on the opposite side of the road, which is marked with a small DEC sign. The trail begins with a gentle climb before descending and crossing a snowmobile trail. At the fork, head right and continue through some rolling ascents and descents. Cross an old bridge at 1.4 miles in and grab a glimpse of Dry Lake. From, Dry lake ascend up another gentle slope into a ravine before proceeding to east shore of Dexter Lake. To return, simply follow your tracks back to the trailhead. This route is flatter than other trails in the area and has less eroded sections. Because of this, it offers a great option when there is less than a foot of packed snow.
