Fay: It's just Raquette Lake, NOT Raquette Lake Reservoir! And Fort Stanwix is over 80 miles away - why not visit the Adirondack Museum just a 12 mile drive to Blue Mountain Lake?

Do stop by Raquette Lake while you're in this part of New York. This lake is so wonderful. Camping at Tioga Point State Campground is always a glorious experience; Moose River - South Branch is a great whitewater spot close by. Fox Pond is a nearby lake that you could visit; Antlers Point is not far at all. This is no place for people who don’t like to enjoy themselves. What would winter be without some skiing at McCauley Mountain, and if you get bored of Raquette

of course Browns Tract Inlet flows through this area. A great location to camp here at Raquette Lake is Browns Tract Pond State Campground, and there are good places to discover along the Sucker Brook Trail. On a great day it's a
glorious idea to spend the day at Silver Beach. This lake is so wonderful. Enjoy a round of golf at Inlet Golf Club not far from Raquette Lake; don't leave Raquette Lake without first going for a hike along the Norridge Trail.

Terror Lake
 | 12 miles away ...It was named in 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.

Northville Lake Placid Trail
 | 18 miles away 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-... |
