Dannemora Mountain Haul Road Trails
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.
Harmon Hill
Harmon Hill is a popular hike outside of Bennington along the Long Trail / Appalachian Trail to an overlook above Bennington.
R. Milton Hick Memorial State Forest
Just to the east of Roseboom is the R. Milton Hick Memorial State Forest, a 1,295 acre forest on the hill to south near where NY 165 turns sharply north as it approaches Roseboom. The state forest is largely undeveloped except for a skil trail that runs from Perry Hill Raod to La Fluere Road.
