Rocky Mountain

Not to be confused with Rocky Mt of the Catskills or Rocky Peak of the 46ers, this short stroll located in between the villages of Eagle Bay and Inlet provides top notch views with very little effort.
After having a hearty breakfast in the village of Inlet, I passed a trailhead.  I turned around and saw signs for Black Bear and Rocky.  Black Bear would require a more than 4 mile round trip.  Rocky would take less than 2.  I chose Rocky.

A well trodden trail across some nice slabs of rocks and through a mostly hardwood forest, led to some gorgeous views of Fourth Lake.  The entire lake was in view along with the villages of Inlet and Eagle Bay.  I could see out towards Bald Mt, but could not make out its fire tower.  I can imagine, this is probably an awesome spot for fall foliage.

Not sure if these are private

This one looks like it is

  1. Yeah, I would like this hike too. Good for VPo's spindly, white sticks. Now I understand why people buy second homes in the Dacks.
