Climbing steadily through mature forest for just over three kilometers, this popular trail leads to a fire-tower summit that is reported to offer sweeping views across the central Adirondacks. The ascent maintains a consistent grade throughout, neither punishing nor trivial, and the upper reaches often reward hikers with panoramas that extend, on clear days, well beyond the immediate peaks. Though the route sees considerable traffic during summer months, the combination of accessible challenge and expansive outlook continues to draw those seeking a half-day's effort with substantial return.
This short portage allows paddlers to bypass Buttermilk Falls on the Raquette River, a standard carry on routes between Long Lake and Tupper Lake. At just 0.1 miles, it's a quick haul around the falls. The carry is well-worn and straightforward, typically taking only a few minutes even with a loaded canoe.
