Buck Mountain rises 1,870 feet above the eastern shore of Lake George — a short, steep climb (3.2 miles round-trip) that delivers open ledges and panoramic views of the Narrows. The trail ascends quickly through hardwoods before breaking onto bare rock at the summit.
Nearby waters include Oswegatchie River and Cook Pond Outlet.
