There are an abundance of hiking trails in the area. Auger Falls, 5 miles north on Rte. 30, is a short hike with a spectacular water fall. Old growth forest, called the Pine Orchard, is located at the end of the Windfall Rd. accessible across the lake from Griffin Rd. West River Rd. is a mostly unpaved rd. leading to an old hunting lodge called the Whitehouse. There is a suspension bridge that crosses the West Branch of the Sacandaga River.
