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?

     This lake is located in the wonderful Adirondack Mountains. Raquette Lake is great enough to spend more than a day at, Browns Tract Pond State Campground is a great local campground, and Raquette Lake is not the only place nearby, Fox Pond is a nearby lake. If you want a perfect time in the great outdoors just come on up to the Adirondack Mountains. Going for a hike along the Norridge Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this region; an afternoon  
   playing golf at Inlet Golf Club is always a delight.
This lake is so wonderful. Whitewater paddling is nice on Indian River; why not visit Antlers Point also since you're here. If you came to camp Tioga Point State Campground is a great site to do that. During the summertime highs here at Raquette Lake get into the 70's, and all through summer nights temperatures are in the 50's. Throughout the winter highs are mostly in the 20's while Raquette Lake overnight
 
               low temperatures through the wintertime are in the 0's.
What a place this is for outdoors people. Gotta ski! McCauley Mountain is a fine spot to do that; Fox Mountain is easy to spot from Raquette Lake. Raquette Lake is a relatively wet place regularly with lots of precipitation; the month of August is the wettest with most of the rain, and February is when it's the driest. These mountains rock, just check out all the fun stuff to do in the Adirondack Mountains. Looking for something next to Raquette Lake? Raquette Lake is nearby, and as expected Browns Tract Inlet flows through this region.
Hiking along the Sucker Brook Trail is tremendous fun, and a day at Silver Beach is time well spent. This lake is so wonderful. In the event that you don't mind getting dripping wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on Moose River - South Branch, and since you're here you can take a hike along the Northville Lake Placid Trail.

Terror Lake
12 miles away
...n its two lobs. It is dead to fish. 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...

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....

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-...
