·         This rigorous hike will bring us to the newly opened fire tower on Buck Mountain, near the Town of Long Lake. From atop of fire tower take in stunning views of the William C. Whitney Wilderness Area and Little Tupper Lake. This trail gains 500 feet in elevation, mostly on the latter half of the hike. This outing is intended for folks seeking a moderate-to-challenging outdoor activity. 

Directions: From Blue Mountain Lake, head East on Route 30 toward Long Lake for about 10 miles. Take a left at the Stewart’s in Long Lake onto NY-28N/NY-30N. Continue North on NY-28N/30N toward Tupper Lake for 7 miles. Take a left onto Sabattis Circle Road and continue for a little over 2 miles to a large parking lot on the right.
