Indian Carry Rd, Tupper Lake
The trail to Stony Creek Ponds is a historical canoe carry route called Indian Carry, and its current form was built by the Adirondack Mountain Club, with the land being transferred to the state by the Adirondack Land Trust.

- Elevation gain: 125 feet
Hiking to Stony Creek Ponds
From the parking area cross Route 3, carefully. Once on the trail, start a mellow hike through the mixed forest which gets very little sunlight in certain areas. The boardwalks along this trail, which is considered a canoe carry, can be very slippery. The terrain is very easy and the only one downhill section at the very end is all the elevation change you will really have. The views out over the pond are fantastic.
Stony Creek Ponds in the winter
This could make for a nice little cross-country ski trip in the winter.
