If only every place had this much outdoors entertaining stuff, what a great earth it would be. Hiking is a popular thing to do around Gibbs Lake; Twin Lakes Trail is a pleasant local trail, and whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then, we recommend Moose River - South Branch. Gibbs Lake is a reasonably wet place typically with a good deal of rainfall; during the month of August you get the most rain around here, and the driest of the months is February.
There's so much to do here at Gibbs Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Nicks Lake Campgrounds is a nice spot for that, and a day on the slopes of Woods Valley is just what you need. This lake is so wonderful. An afternoon playing golf at Thendara Golf Club is always a bliss, and if you come at the right time of year, Moose River - Middle Branch offers some fine whitewater.

Twitchell Lake

On 7/7/2009...
85 years ago my mother who lived in Brooklyn spent her vacations at Lake Twitchell,she said once she went to the adirondacks she never went back to the catskills. I got up this morning and thought of her conversations about the lake and decided to look it up, I hope it's still as beautiful as she described it so many years ago,I still have her snap shots....

Chub Pond
10 miles away
I love hiking back to this pond! It is absolutely beautiful! The trail was a little muddy from atv's, but the trek is worth it. the loons were incredible to watch, and once i saw the arora borealis there too!...

Terror Lake
14 miles away
...arly 19th century before stillwater. The Carthage road went up the Beaver river drainage. Two brothers got lost up in the ridges above Terror Lake. Almost died. They found the lake and named it after their nights of terror. Guys used to hunt there in the fly in days. The last last guy to go there was a drainage ditch runner. Calls himself PH. Take his advice. It's a long way in and you MUST know the woods and be a woodsman. There are plenty of blow downs to go through overland. The way to go is via the end of Twitchell Lk. The Sisters who own the old Teahouse at the end of Twitchell are nice old girls. I saved their nephew one cold November night. They bought me some good whiskey. Anyway that's the way to get into Terror Lk. Follow the old trail into the South Branch Beaver River drainage. Head northeast for a good mile and keep the high ground to your right shoulder. Keep walking about 4 miles and make sure the big ridge is over your right shoulder. You can't miss the lake. There is an old ghost trail marked with blue soap can lids at the base of the ridge. Probably grown in by now....

Forty Mountain Trail
16 miles away
Since 2001, it has become a bushwhack and can be close to impossible in the spring and summer to find the blazes that indicate the trail. Wet seasons can make the slopes tretcherous, and the trail dissapears at the base of the mountain. One must plot a compass course or use a GPS. The summit offers limited views of the Black River area of the southwestern Adirondacks. Watch for black bears, as they are numerous in this region....
