SARATOGA area hiking

Saratoga-style lean-tos.  Aug 28 - GREENTREE LAKE.  Nice & peaceful. Aug 25 -  Wanted to continue scouting out the Southern Palmertown Range with a visit to LINCOLN MOUNTAIN STATE FOREST https://www.dec.ny.gov/lands/107159.html . From Locust Grove Rd, took a R on Greene Rd & in 0.1 miles took a L on dirt road with my mtb. Soon saw state land signs on the R. Went somewhat further until posted signs on the R. Ditched the bike & bushwhacked NE thru open woods with little understory staying to the R of the posted signs & yellow paint blazes. Reached a swampy area, the headwaters of Stony Brook, & soon turned back. Biked on pavement over to Cohen Rd which goes past a few houses then turns to dirt/rock into the SF. Spent some time at the pond, then out. Over to Lincoln Mtn Rd & Clothier Rd to MOREAU LAKE SP & took a walk to LAKE BONITA for lunch - mellow. Aug 19 -  GREENTREE LAKE hike, from Greene Rd, Greenfield Center, a few miles N of Saratoga. This
