McKenzie Pond Boulders New Parking

The Essex County Highway Dep. has created a new designated parking area for the McKenzie Pond Boulders. They have put up No Parking signs where the traditional parking for the boulders has been. The new parking is still on just the shoulder of the road but it is on the opposite side from the boulders and a little bit closer to Saranac Lake. The new parking area is signed and is about 150ft. away from the traditional parking area. The county is working to make access still possible while trying to keep cars off the road that create a traffic hazard. The county is going to be adding more gravel to make the shoulder not as soft as it is now and to allow for even more cars. PLEASE use this new designated parking area.

Will- thanks for looking into this new parking designation and informing all of us. I will pass along this new information as well, it sounds like the county is trying to improve the current parking situation for all of us climbers at the McKenzie bouldering set.

I see that this post has been added to the comment section of the Mckenzie pond page as well , but can we get someone to add the new parking info directly to the Directions section? I don't think most people would look down at the comments if they were looking for directions.
