Pharaoh Lake Wilderness Area, Protected wilderness area in Adirondack Park, New York State.
The Pharaoh Lake Wilderness extends across 46,283 acres of forest lands, containing 39 water bodies and 63 miles of marked hiking paths through diverse terrain.
The New York State Forest Preserve incorporated this area in the early 20th century, establishing strict protection measures for its natural resources and ecological systems.
Local outdoor enthusiasts maintain fourteen traditional Adirondack lean-to shelters throughout the wilderness, preserving the region's mountain recreation heritage.
Visitors access the wilderness through multiple trailheads along Routes 9, 74, and 8, with Putnam Pond State Campground serving as a primary entry point.
Pharaoh Mountain rises 2,551 feet above the wilderness, standing as the sole peak of substantial elevation among the smaller surrounding hills.
