JUNE 2024 11 HIKING & BACKPACKING continued from 9 that only the trucks can reach. There is a campsite and canoe launch nearby, but the views of Crane are limited without venturing farther out along the shore. Look for the hiking trail that leads south from the parking area, crossing the pond’s outlet on a substantial footbridge. This, too, was once a road, but its quality is worlds apart from what you’ve just experienced. The trail gradually climbs through hemlock-rich forests to a junction at 2.6 miles (0.7 from Crane Pond) where the hiking trail to Pharaoh Mountain bears right. A few minutes later, at three miles, you reach the turnoff for Oxshoe Pond at a scenic junction beside Glidden Marsh. The pond-like north end of Glidden Marsh is one of the joys of this adventure. The trail hugs the shoreline and provides several photographic vantages. A brief interlude through the woods brings you to the south end of the marsh, which is indeed more wetland than pond – but still scenic, nonetheless. After crossing the outlet of Crab Pond, the trail climbs to yet another trail junction at 3.7 miles; a left turn here would lead to Crab Pond. Trail signs refer to this spot as “Hay Marsh Junction,” after a wetland that lies off-trail to the northeast. The trail to Pharaoh Lake continues straight ahead. By this point the trail has already shed its road-based origins and narrowed into a rugged foot tread, but what follows is the remotest section of the route. The distance between Hay Marsh and Pharaoh Lake is only 1.6 miles, but it will seem substantially longer. From an elevation of about 1,200 feet, the trail gradually climbs to 1,460 feet as it keeps to high ground above a chain of wetlands occupying a notch between Pharaoh and Treadway Mountains. A zigzag between two of the wetlands leads to a short level section, and then comes the 0.3-mile, 300-foot plunge down to Pharaoh Lake’s northwest corner. At 5.3 miles, you reach a junction with the loop trail that encircles the lake. There are three designated campsites in this vicinity, including one tiny “solo” campsite to the left and two more substantial sites to the right, each at the tip of its own small peninsula. Be sure to look for the yellow markers leading off the main route to each of these campsites, which all boast fine views of this large lake. If a lean-to is more your style, the nearest option is found on the far side of Split Rock Bay; upon reaching the aroundthe-lake trail, bear left and continue for an additional 0.5- mile to the prominent shelter. The drawback to this route is that when the time comes to pull up your tent stakes and return to Crane Pond Road, your day will begin with that 0.3-mile, 300-foot climb back into the notch, with almost no preliminary. But then the long descent toward Hay Marsh and Glidden Marsh will improve your outlook, and the final 1.9 miles along the abandoned road will breeze right by.
