Fishbrook Pond is 33 acres with a lean-to and picnic area. On the way there is Sleeping Beauty Mountain along with several campsites and other facilities.
From Padnaram Road in the Town of Bolton, one can follow an old snowmobile trail back to the wilderness lakes of Long Pond and Island Pond. There are three designated campsites along Long Pond and a boat launch. See more on the ADK Forum: http://www.adkforum.com/showthread.php?t=19202
Black Mountain is a three mile hike from Pike Brook Road via a snowmobile trail. The snowmobile trail is a nice hike or ski and follows an old woods road to the summit. The summit contains an old firetower this is fenced off for DEC radio equipment, along with a picnic table, outhouse, and old ranger's cabin.
If you take the steeper trail down the mountain you will arrive at Black Mountain Pond with a Lean-To and Outhouse, and loop around to Lapland Pond, an older lean-to and outhouse on the shore of the lake. Trail blaze color underlays the trail routes on the map.
