Poke-O-Moonshine Trail - Keeseville New York Hikes

This hike climbs an eastern Adirondack peak, passing through mixed woods and topping outcrops, before reaching the rocky summit and fire tower. Special Attractions: granite-gneiss cliffs, mixed forest, lean-to, fire tower, and Lake Champlain-High Peaks views. Day-use or camp fee charged; hikers can avoid this fee by parking along the road shoulder of US 9 outside the no-parking zone that abuts the state campground.
