LeClair Hill.
LeClair Hill rises to 1,831 feet in the northern Adirondacks — a modest summit with no maintained trail. Bushwhackers use it as a warm-up or link it with nearby peaks; the woods are open hardwoods with seasonal views where the canopy thins.
Nearby waters include Niagara Brook and Big Marsh Pond.
