2 night backpacking trip recommendation - western ADK

[MaverickGSD]

Hi all,
I've been searching the forum for some ideas, but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for exactly. We(me and my wife and 2 of our friends from Denver) are trying to plan a 2night backpacking trip ideally on the western side of the Adirondack Park. We would like a loop too as we'll only have 1 car. We are all capable of moderate-stenuous hikes, but climbing peaks isn't necessary. Anything around 15-20miles is what we are looking to do.

thanks in advance to all!
Jason

There are several possibilities in that area. A real good one is Middle Settlement Lake. There is more than one loop possibility that can be expanded to include many lakes, some with lean-tos. Check out the Adirondack Mountain Club's Guide for the West Central Adirondacks it includes a pretty good map with it. good luck. I just found some more info about these lakes on this thread, hope it helps. http://www.adkforum.com/showthread.php?t=2533

Your looking for the 5 ponds wilderness area. There is a small mountain to climb (Cat mtn), a water falls (high falls) and many ponds with loops and leanto's. You can park at Wanakena.
