These spectacular cliffs rise over 300 feet and are framed by Hemlock trees growing out of the blueish rock formation. The Hudson makes a right angle bend at this location and is filled with big boulders. Depending on water levels, the boulders may be well above water or submerged and creating a huge whitewater display. When the Hudson water level is lower there is also a section of sandy bank shore for those who like to wade but be careful—the current is swift in this area not matter what the water level. You can find the Blue Ledges trailhead along the North Woods Club Road (left turn/west off of NY 28N about 1.7 miles north of the Minerva Post Office) just before you reach Huntley Pond. The road is paved part way then becomes a well-maintained gravel road. It dips down to cross the Boreas River which is an interesting place to stop and have lunch or explore on your way to the Blue Ledges trailhead. Blue Ledges trailhead parking is located about 7 miles down North Woods Club Road. The start of the Blue Ledges trail passes around the east end of Huntley Pond on a well-used trail marked with blue DEC markers. Initially the trail offers some tough footing with lots of exposed roots. After you reach the pond, the trail gets smoother as you climb into a classic ADK forest with a pleasant rolling trail. About a mile before you reach the Hudson, you will start hearing the sound of the water rushing thru the Hudson River Gorge.

Stony Pond The Stony Pond Trail is a four mile round trip ADK hike featuring an easy to moderate walk through a fairly level section of Vanderwacker Wild Forest, past beaver dams and beautiful rock formations. The pond is framed by classic ADK scenery and is accessible in all four seasons. There is a lean-to with fire pit and picnic table just off the pond, making the perfect place for lunch or a break. Make sure to read the walls of the lean to where hikers and campers have signed their names and hometown. Fir, spruce, hemlock, birch, maple, beech, hobble-bush and wetland plants along the Stony Pond trail make it a good choice for birding and nature watching. When you reach the pond, you may see loons nesting there in summer and year round you may catch a glimpse of a bald eagle soaring overhead. Though the pond looks inviting for swimming and is easy to access via large flat rocks, watch out for leeches which are numerous. A couple canoes and a row boat have been left at the pond, but you must bring in your own paddle or oars. Be careful when lifting up the boats since snakes tend to use them for shelter.

Snowmobiles create a path for cross-country skiers and snowshoers that frequent the trail in winter. In the spring or during rainy weather, the Stony Pond Trail tends to be muddy where small streams cross the trail. In the future, the Stony Pond Trail will be used as a “connector” for the future North Country Trail—a 5,200 mile trail which will run from VT to North Dakota. The NCT plans to use the northern branch of the Stony Pond Trail toward Hewitt Pond then into the Hoffman Notch Wilderness. Stony Pond is located in Vanderwhacker Mountain Wild Forest and the trailhead is located on NY 28N, north of Minerva. There is a DEC sign and parking for five or six cars along the side of the road. The GPS coordinates are N43 49.967 W74 00.971. Across the road from the Stony Pond trailhead is a trail marker for Rankin Pond Trail which is a quick half mile hike to a small pond with floating bogs and interesting wetlands. Many paddlers with lightweight canoes access Rankin Pond to fish and enjoy the unique wetland plants the pond supports.
