RAY BROOK | The Adirondack Park Agency will officially make a classification decision on the Boreas Ponds Tract on Friday. The agency revealed last week “Alternative 2B” being offered for consideration. The plan divides the parcel nearly in two between Wild Forest, which allows more recreational uses, and Wilderness, the most restrictive category.

“Staff believe that Alternative 2B provides the strongest possible resource protection for the most sensitive and remote portions of the Boreas Ponds Tract, including the Boreas Ponds and other waterbodies, high value wetlands and areas with highly erodible soils,” wrote APA Deputy Director of Planning Kathy Regan to Executive Director Terry Martino in a memo last Thursday. The plan calls for 9,118 acres to be classified as Wild Forest, including Ragged Mountain and a stretch of the Boreas River. The proposal will also create new opportunities for roadside camping along Gulf Brook Road, “reasonable access for people to walk to Boreas Ponds, easy access for hunting and potential for new mountain bike trails,” according to materials provided by the Nature Conservancy. Those lands will be included in the Vanderwhacker Mountain Wild Forest Area. The 11,412 acres proposed for Wilderness, including Boreas Ponds, Moose Mountain

JOHNSBURG | When resident Bob Nessle came to the Johnsburg Town Board meeting last month, he probably didn’t expect to become a unit of measurement. But after asking about one of the trails, he became a reference point for further discussion. » Gore Cont. on pg. 2
