About
Brown Tract Pond Campground occupies a remote, forested setting on the eastern shore of 146-acre Brown Tract Pond in New York's Adirondack Park. The campground offers 90 spacious, well-separated tent and trailer sites that provide genuine privacy among mature trees. Facilities include flush toilets, a shower building, water spigots, a trailer dump station, and a recycling center. Firewood is available for purchase. The pond is restricted to non-motorized watercraft, creating a peaceful environment for canoeing and kayaking. Anglers can fish for rare brook trout along with smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, yellow perch, and sunfish. Rowboats and canoes are available for rent. An unsupervised swimming beach provides lake access for swimmers. The surrounding Adirondack wilderness offers excellent hiking opportunities with nearby trails to Black Bear Mountain, Bug Lake, Eagle Lake, and Eighth Lake. Unmarked trails lead to Shallow Lake and West Mountain for those seeking more solitude. A Junior Naturalist Program is available for young campers. Maximum stay is 14 consecutive nights, with stricter limits during peak season from July 1 through Labor Day.
