You imagine that's enough? Just getting warmed up. Beaver Brook is a good local stream, and at Helms Pond you can distinguish Little Blue Mountain. All the water falling down from the sky makes Helms Pond a wet location; through the month of August you get the most rain around here, and the driest of the months is February. This lake is so wonderful. The beauty of mother nature reveals herself at Buttermilk Falls; do schedule some time to explore Bluff

Northville Lake Placid Trail
 | Not sure where Plumley's Point is but I hiked the Northville Lake Placid trail about 4 or 5 miles north from Long Lake village and it was fairly well maintained (just a little overgrowth). At one point the trail runs into a bog/pond and the wooden planks are flooded over. You must make a detour to the left and bushwack to some rocks to cross (hiked June 09)...8/14/09 I'm wondering if anyone knows the trail conditions for the Northville Lake Palcid trail from Long Lake village to near Plumley's Point-... |
