    Beautiful Gray Lake has much to offer visitors. Gray Lake is one of the lakes here in the Adirondack Mountains. That right there is a load of exciting stuff already but it goes on, the Adirondack Mountains has it all. Gray Lake is a nice place to visit for more than one day, Nicks Lake Campgrounds is a nice place to camp nearby; whitewater paddling is great on Moose River - South Branch.
It's a brilliant idea to have a look at Beaver Brook, it's right next
 
   door to Gray Lake, and there is a splendid hiking trail nearby called the Salmon Lake Trail. Gray Lake mostly gets a lot of precipitation; all through the month of August you get the most rain around here, and February meanwhile is the driest month. After a long day outdoors Americas Best Inns-Herkimer is a glorious site to spend a night or two; get wet paddling on Moose River - Middle Branch.
You'll truly wish for more hours in a day to enjoy all the fun
 
               stuff in the Adirondack Mountains. At Gray Lake you can catch a glimpse of Little Moose Mountain, and the Twin Lakes Trail is a splendid hiking trail close by. This lake is so wonderful. There are other sites here than Gray Lake, for example Round Pond, and on a good day you can take a hike along the Norridge Trail. You'll wish for more hours in a day to enjoy all the cool stuff at Gray Lake. There's no such thing as a bad day of skiing at nearby McCauley Mountain. Lakes? Sure, Twin Pond is around here.
This lake is so wonderful. Stay the night at OLD Forge Camping Resort; if you're here you can play some golf at Thendara Golf Club. At Gray Lake through the summer months highs are in the 70's. Summer nighttime lows plunge down to the 50's. The winter comes with highs in the 20's while the cold winter nights at Gray Lake are in the 0's.

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
13 miles away
...the early 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...

Forty Mountain Trail
15 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....

Helldiver Pond

Hell Diver Pond is a pretty little body of water located in the Moose River Recreation Area of the Adirondacks. The hike back to it is easy and short. Hell Diver is well worth the walk....
