North of Mountain Pond in Paul Smiths is an old routing of NY 30 and several old fire protection roads that are used today for hiking, horseback riding, and accessing backcountry hunting locations. Known as the Hays Brook Horse Trails, there is a small parking area along Mountain Pond Road (Old Route 30), along with a falling apart wooden sign indicating the trail head.
