Tassel Hill


Since I had plenty of time when I arrived to Utica and found the Saranac Brewery to be closed on Sunday, I decided to head to Tassel Hill, the high point of Oneida County.

Tassel Hill is another accessible county high point.  I walked up a private road that reaches near the high point.  A logging road continues for another half mile to the high point.  I'm unaware if the high point is on private land or not.  There is state forest land as I did see signs.  I have never read reports about access issues.




The summit does not provide much in views.  Apparently, there used to be a tower at the top.  I found some partial views to the north.  I found some trash up here, so again, not the most pleasant mountain to be on.
