Buck Mountain Firetower Hike Long Lake
Hike to Buck Mountain Firetower, on a new trail that was opened in 2023. While the elevation gain is only 500 feet, much of this is gained in a series of newly constructed ladders. There are at least 7 ladders. Good hike for those who want to practice with ladders. The summit is wooded, but there is a good view from the firetower. We will meet at the trailhead or carpool from Potsdam NY. Contact leader for exact meeting time for carpool and/or time of hike. Trekking poles are suggested and good hiking boots are required, as well as enough water and snacks, and appropriate clothing for the weather.
