Join Hike On Guides as we climb Balsam Lake Mountain (elevation 3,729’), one of the Catskill Mountains 35 peaks above 3500 feet and part of the Catskill 3500 challenge. Balsam Lake Mountain is also home to the Balsam Lake Mountain Fire Tower, one of the Catskill Park’s six fire towers. We’ll maintain a relaxed pace on this 6 mile hike. Hikers will be rewarded (weather conditions permitting) with excellent views from the fire tower at the summit.
