7 DAYS on the North Country Trail | 2024 Hike 6 | Day 3 and 4 - Trout Brook Pond to M-123 Parking

Started off Day 3 from our campsite at Trout Brook Pond and headed south. This was the day we hit the Niagara Escarpment on our way to East Lake Cabins. It was amazing. Day 4, we hiked south from the cabins with the goal of getting to our resupply car at M-123 Parking then hiking on south to camp for the night. But sometimes plans change. Stayed at Breevort Lake Campground for the night.

I couldnt help but go right to the the 2nd video. Poured a glass of wine and opened a " little bag" of Cheetos and kicked back to enjoy the video. The beauty of this section was magnificent. Im just blown away by our strength and charater. I love seeing the people we meet along the trail. Although we planned I love how we would change it up, like staying at Brevoort Lakewhich was so awesome. The simple things of flush toilets, picnic table and water . I just loved how you continued it with the rain from inside the tent sooooo cool.

It really was so beautiful through there. Especially walking through fields of trillium. So pretty. And the escarpment was very cool. Loved it. We definitely made the right choice staying at Breevort Lake and not among the swarms of mosquitos by the Carp River. No thanks. :) And it really was so fun meeting other hikers out there. Did not expect that, so it was nice blessing.

Wine and cheetos doesnt get any better.

I'm so disappointed. I missed the trillium season this year. But am enjoying your videos of them. Do you know if the escarpment you showed us was shale or limestone. Any evidence of bears digging for the ramps? Loved watching this adventure! I just bought a Grayl water filter as demonstrated by the fellow with the dog. Grayl also filters out PFAS and metals as well as the bacteria. Loving this video. Watching it in sections to make it last longer.

Walking through fields of trillium was so magical. It was amazing. According to what I read online, it's both limestone and shale. I don't know a lot about it, only that it runs across from New York and Canada and through that area of the UP we were in and down into Wisconsin. It's the rock formation that Niagara Falls goes over, which is really cool. And that Grayl filter was awesome. A little heavy for a long backpacking trip, though. Too much extra weight. But would be good for day hiking for sure. And I love that it gets so much stuff out of the water. Glad you're enjoying the video! One more to come in this series. :)

At 2,26 is the spring for trout brook pond

[@kristahikes]

We thought we saw some really clear water in one spot but it was far off to one side and not easy to get to so we weren’t sure. Does the trail go right past it?

[@KevinHough-mo9eo]

Just to the right 50 feet

@@KevinHough-mo9eo Well, next time I'm on that section, I'll be sure to look harder. Thanks! :)
