Poke O Moonshine Fire Tower
Poke-O-Moonshine Fire Tower is located 2,161 feet above sea level and offers sweeping views of Northern Adirondacks and Lake Champlain Valley includes points as far north as Chazy, and south to the High Peaks of the Adirondacks.
There are two ways up Poke-o-Moonshine. The most common way nowadays is the 2.5 mile old woods road, that provide a quiet, modestly steep way up the mountain. The other way from the former Poke-O-Moonshine Campground is a 1.2 mile steep and eroded footpath.

Chub Lake
Chub Pond is a remote Adirondack Lake, located roughly 3 miles from Mill Creek Road, following an old woods road sometimes traveled by ATVs. The trail runs through several marshes and is relatively flat with several rather muddy sections. Chub Pond Lean-To #1 is one of most unique lean-tos in the Adirondacks, built and maintained by the Plumley Family in 1963 which uses it for hunting during the fall. http://www.protectadks.org/2014/09/a-forest-preserve-lean-to-on-chub-pond-in-the-black-river-wild-forest-area-has-been-extensively-modified-and-turned-into-a-private-camp/
Big Alderbed Lake Trail
There is an old snowmobile trail/woods road by the Powley Place Bridge, that extends 2.5 miles west to Big Alderbed, that takes you to a wire crossing over the East Branch. The trail follows the East Branch for a short distance, then heads back into an interesting Old Growth Forest with a lot of big trails. To reach Big Alderbed -- which is largely drained wetland due to a failed dam -- you have to bushwhack along the stream to the mouth of the wetland.
