Good Views, Easy Hike, Great Mountain for Kids
Taylor Pond, left, with Catamount behind, Douglas, right, with Silver Lake far right.
| This is a trail for the
whole family. Silver Lake Mountain combines the virtue of nice views at
multiple elevations (of Whiteface, Esther, Catamount, Taylor
Pond, and Silver Lake), with a short (just under a mile), and
relatively easy hike (no real scrambling). In addition, Silver Lake
Mountain is only about 15-20 minutes north of Otter Chalet and Deep
Woods Cabin. Head north on Springfield Road, left onto Rte. 86, right
onto Bonnieview Road at the four corners, then follow Bonnieview north.
When Bonnieview ends, turn left towards Hawkeye, and about 5 miles
west, where the telephone poles and power lines shift from the left
side of the road to the west, look for the trail sign on your right. |
