With Chazy Lake in the foreground.
With the addition of the SSD drive to my laptop, I am able to process large digital elevation model files much quicker, so I've been playing more with hillshades of mountain ranges and making colorful pictures of the terrain below. This image shows some of the terrain in the lands west of Dannemora in Clinton County mountain country.
On Chazy Lake there are a series of three free campsites located beyond the gated end of Wilfred Kingdom Road.
Just north of Dannemora, as you climb Dannemora Mountain on NY 374, there is a pull off with a water fountain that is popular for tourists and locals seeking a source of good spring water. From there are several old haul road trails that you can hike along on Dannemora Mountain, a previously logged area that once supplied the wood used in the wood furnaces that heated Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora. At one time, the state brought prisoners up here to log the area, and provide heat for their facility. The mixed cover is good for wildlife viewing and hunting in this remote, little visited portion of the Northern Adirondacks.
