Sentinel Range Wilderness Area, Protected wilderness area in Essex County, New York, US
The Sentinel Range Wilderness spans 23,874 acres of steep terrain with vertical cliffs, mixed forests, and five water bodies in the Adirondack Park.
Forest fires over fifty years ago created bare rock outcroppings on Sentinel Mountain, leading to the regeneration of hardwood forests on eastern slopes.
The wilderness area contains 13.8 miles of foot trails, including the Pitchoff Mountain Trail that extends 4.3 miles across mountain summits.
Visitors can access designated camping sites marked with yellow discs, including four tent sites and one lean-to positioned near water bodies.
The Jackrabbit Cross-Country Ski Trail crosses through the wilderness, connecting Lake Placid to Keene through different ecological zones.
