McCauley Mountain
A mountain nestled in the central Adirondacks just outside Old Forge, New York, McCauley Mountain's 633 foot vertical drop and twenty-one trails make it so you never have to look hard to find a challenge.
McCauley Mountain provides skiing for all levels of skiers along with terrain of a ''big mountain'' resort without those long lift lines and high ticket prices. McCauley is celebrating its 50th year with special offers & events. Check the web site for updates....

Forty Mountain Trail
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....

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....
