Buck Mountain rises 2,300 feet above the east shore of Lake George — a steep 3.2-mile round-trip climb that delivers open views of the Narrows and the lake's island chain. The trail is rocky and gains elevation quickly, but the summit rock slabs make it a popular short day hike.
Nearby waters include Eagle Crag Lake.

Write a field note →Wrong elevation, outdated access notes, a coordinate that's drifted. We'd rather hear it than miss it.
