     But wait, there's more to do close to Whitney Lake. Going for a hike on the Sucker Brook Trail is always a brilliant adventure; if you come at the right time of year, Indian River offers some pleasant whitewater.

And if that's not enough there's a lot more fun stuff to do in the Adirondack Mountains. There's so much to do  
   here at Whitney Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Tioga Point State Campground is a great place for that, and the peak of Cobble Hill can be spotted from Whitney Lake.
This lake is so wonderful. Whitney Lake is great enough to spend more than a day at, Browns Tract Pond State Campground is a great local campground, and there are wonderful places to explore along the Hamilton Mountain Fire Tower Trail. This lake is so wonderful. Whitney Lake is
 
               a wet site that gets a good deal of rain; of all the months in a year August is the one with the most rain, and February is the month with the least moisture.

Everybody nearby loves skiing at McCauley Mountain, and float down the rapids of Moose River - South Branch in a kayak. This is a great area for people who like lakes. Puddle Hole is a lake close by, and don't leave Whitney Lake without first going for a hike along the Northville Lake Placid Trail. This lake is located in the wonderful Adirondack Mountains.

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-...

Nine Corner Lake
19 miles away
Been there several times and it's an enjoyable, short and easy walk. Our last visit there was somewhat ruined by a group of youngsters who felt they needed to bring their boom box with them as they sat on the shore communing with nature. Other than that - nice jaunt....Never been there...going there soon though....l\Love it there, going today. :)...Great spot for swimming in the summer. Clear waters, with many rocks and small cliffs to jump off, along with a rope swing! Its a heavily used area, made apparent by the large amount of garbage left around during the busy months, but  all in all a good lake and definatley worth the short hike....
