Ha-De-Ron-Dah Wilderness Area, Protected wilderness area in Herkimer and Lewis Counties, New York.
The Ha-De-Ron-Dah Wilderness encompasses 26,600 acres of rolling hills, beaver meadows, mixed forests, and scattered white pine trees reaching heights over 100 feet.
The name originates from the Iroquois word Adirondack, which referred to neighboring Algonquin peoples who resorted to eating tree bark during harsh winters.
The wilderness maintains several unmarked paths to bare summits, including Cross Hill, Six Mile Hill, Coal Hill, and Quarry Mountain, created by forest fires.
Visitors can access 35 miles of marked trails from NY Route 28, with two lean-to shelters available at Middle Settlement Lake and Middle Branch Lake.
The northern section contains preserved white pine trees exceeding 40 inches in diameter that escaped historical logging operations in the region.
