We parked on Island Pond Road at the Crooked Road Path. We took the Crooked Road path to the Appalachian Trail. This trail was very overgrown and not properly maintained. Upon reaching the Appalachian Trail we went down to the Island Pond, and then turned back to the Appalachian Trail and headed to the Lemon Squeezer, a rock formation with covered rock and narrow pathway through the rocks.
After the Lemon Squeezer, we climbed up Island Pond Mountain and took a short bushwhack to the view above the lake, and then continued down the mountain to intersection of the Long Path and Appalachian Trail, the two most famous hiking trails in New York. We then took the Long Path to the unmaintained shelter, then past Surebridge Swamp, and then to Arden Valley Road where the other car was located.
