Hiking

Fawn Lake is a hidden gem and well worth the visit. You can take a short half-mile hike or a two-mile hike. The lake has crystal clear water and the shores are shady and laden with moss. Just magical - you won't want to leave. From NY 8 take Tamarack Road to its end, then left of Fawn Lake Road. Follow Fawn Lake Road past the snowplow turn around and the end of the paved road. Follow the dirt road 0.1 miles to a wide pull off at a sharp right turn. Parking is available here. Follow the trail - you will come to a fork. Stay to the left for the short half-mile hike and go right for the 2 mile hike.

Easy to moderate hike, with a lovely waterfall about a mile in. The trail is a bit rocky and has roots, but worth the visit. may be popular in the summer months.
