ADIRONDACK REGION TAYLOR POND Taylor Pond can be found in the back woods, on a dirt road and miles from the modern world. Fishing enthusiasts and naturalists come from afar to spend vacations in a lean-to, a designated open site on the back part of the pond, or the mainland campground. Taylor Pond Campground is located on the northeast corner of Taylor Pond. A dam controls the level of this 4-mile long, 813-acre "pond". The dam, campground and interior campsites represent the only development on the entire primitive pond. The 10-acre developed campground is surrounded by more than 8,000 acres of Wild Forest state land. The campground has a remote setting with basic services and limited facilities. Camping units ranging from small tents to 30-foot RVs can be accommodated. Recreational opportunities include: picnicking, boating, fishing, hiking and nature observation. Loons, Osprey, Eagles and many other fauna and flora can be observed in the area. WILMINGTON NOTCH Wilmington Notch is located beside the Ausable River and accommodates fishing enthusiasts looking to challenge the rapids in search of a great catch. Olympic Whiteface Mountain is on the other side of the river and offers a gondola ride to the summit with a great view for miles. Lake Placid Olympic Village is a short eight miles from this campground offering unlimited attractions. The campground is situated in a birch and pine grove at the base of Whiteface Mountain. | 10 www.dec-campgrounds.com  http://newyorkstateparks.reserveamerica.com/camping/Taylor_Pond_Campground/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=NY&parkId=537&topTabIndex=CampingSpot http://newyorkstateparks.reserveamerica.com/camping/Taylor_Pond_Campground/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=NY&parkId=537&topTabIndex=CampingSpot http://www.dec-campgrounds.com
