The North Fork area did not disappoint over the Memorial Day weekend. We rented a cabin in Polebridge for two nights, then stayed in the campground at Bowman lake for a third night.
Such a pretty area. The ONLY thing I wouldn't recommend is the hike to Lower Quartz Lake. Our guide book said it was a "good walk for kids". Those kids would need to be Olympic contenders in my book. The eight mile round trip hike contains a lot of steep uphill hiking. And the lake is underwhelming. Maybe the other two Quartz Lakes are worth the hike though. There is a loop.
Although the weather wasn't the best we still had a good time.
