Owls Head Mountain Firetower (Long Lake) 📍

While hazy today, you can see village of Long Lake quite well from the tower. It's always crazy there, and I try to avoid towns whenever I'm in the Adirondacks.

Again, just looking north towards the High Peaks and Saranac Lake region.

There is a snowmobile and a separate hiking trail up Owls Head Mountain. I took the hiking trail up, although it looks like per the DEC Land Mapper program, that the snowmobile trail roughly follows it on an old woods road. The snowmobile trail is not visible from the hiking trail in the summertime.

This is where you sign in, so they can have an idea on trail use, and make it easier to find you if your lost or injured.

This fire tower, like many others in the Adirondacks, has been adopted by a volunteer group.

I hate when the granola eaters litter the trails with their little presents.

The trail crosses this downed tree.
