Buck Mountain rises 2,493 feet above the eastern shore of Lake George, offering one of the clearest summit views of the lake's island-studded waters. The 6.2-mile round-trip trail from Pilot Knob Road climbs steadily through hardwood forest to open ledges — popular but manageable for most hikers.
Nearby waters include East Inlet and Lost Brook.
