View from the Top

This is a view from Bald Mountain, also called Rondaxe Mountain, looking down to the Fulton Chain of Lakes. The climb to the top is pretty easy and can be done by children and adults alike. The view from the top is priceless. I remember climbing the mountain as a child and sitting on this spot looking down to see my house on Fourth Lake.

If we Could Turn Back Time

The stately old Bald Mountain House sat on Third Lake by the entrance to the channel between Fourth Lake and Third Lake on the Fulton Chain. It was one of those big Adirondack hotels that sprung up in the park during and around the Great Camp era, supplying lodging to wealthy visitors from downstate and around the world. Now, it is with great sadness that we tell you that not only is this great old hotel gone, but it was years ago replaced by what we call "Tobacco Road" -- a collection of hideous trailers and mobile homes crammed into each other. It is truly an eyesore. If we could just turn back time. . .
