This was not built by DEC but apparently by some hiker who decided rock-hopping was an unacceptable mode of crossing. Bill and I actually crossed this, crawling on hands and knees. But we don’t recommend it. Fifteen yards north you’ll see a line of rocks that probably will work fine. The real DEC bridge that once stood here washed out “due to the delta nature of this location and the narrow ‘canyon’ of the brook prior to it opening up there,” DEC’s Kirstin Seleen told us. There’s a plan to rebuild it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/613ffad6eb35f15bee2b154d/cfe627e0-9cd0-4101-8639-0dea2672022e/Siamese+Ponds+Pano.jpg TRIP REPORTS - Exploring the Sacandaga - Make it stand out The Siamese Ponds Trail will bring you to this vista of the largest of the two ponds.
