The Cranberry Lake region is one of the largest remote areas remaining in the state. There has been only minimal encroachment of civilization on the lake itself. Just to the south of the lake lie thousands of acres of rolling hills, numerous lakes, ponds, and unbroken forest lands that show little or no marks of civilization.
Cranberry Lake, the northern gateway to the Five Ponds Wilderness, covers 11 square miles and has 55 miles of shoreline, of which more than 40 miles are state-owned. The original lake doubled to its current size in 1867 with the construction of a log crib dam for flow, navigation , and hydraulic power control. A concrete dam replaced the crib in 1916.
The lake was noted at one time for its fine trout fishing. DEC is again stocking brook trout to make it a popular fishing spot. Many of the ponds, streams, and rivers in the area now support excellent trout fishing.

ok i’ve been looking for information about this campground , and it’s an official camping, not a free park camp.
cost min 20$ / night
just to let people know theres a mistake in this site
bye!
is this a free camp site or not
no there is no free sites I know of but the there is a NYS DEC Campground that is pretty nice. Ive been there a few years. Big campsites although not a ton of water sites. Big Lake!
There is a website for this campground:
http://adirondackscenicbyways......round.html
There is no entry fee for the park.
and more detailed information at:
http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/24460.html
The second website suggests the camping fee is $19.00
The GPS location is approximate. The Campground is on Lone Pine Road.
Regards,
Don
