Black Mountain Fire Tower

|

It has been converted over to an emergency communications tower for the DEC Forest Service. I was disappointed, as I had hoped to climb it to enjoy the great views to the south.

Narrow Snowmobile Trail

|

As the snowmobile trail climbs the mountain, it narrows and grows progressively steeper. It's not a bad trail for snowshoers, as the snowmobiles must proceed slowly up such a steep mountain.

Stairs

|

After crossing a brook, the trail descends steeply. Their would be stairs made out of logs, that is hidden by the snow and ice.

Tunnel Under the Northway

|

There is a culvert tunnel that takes the Severence Hill Trail under the Adirondack Northway from the Parking Area in Schroon Lake to Severance Hill on the west-side of the Northway. It's kind of ironic that "Severence Hill" access was almost severed by the Northway.
