Buck Mountain rises 2,664 feet above the eastern shore of Lake George — a moderate climb with a rocky summit ledge that overlooks the Narrows and the lake's island chains. The trailhead off Pilot Knob Road leads 3.2 miles one-way through mixed hardwoods to open views south and west.
Nearby waters include Second Pond and First Pond.
