 Hiking/Walking Trails & Beauty Spots.
Home to seven families during the last century, Fourpeaks valley is covered by developed roads and skid trails settlers used to access their fields, woodlots and pasture lands. Fourpeaks 4 mountains (Bassett, Wainwright, Rattlesnake and Ebenezer) are friendly 2,000-foot peaks which can provide hours and days of pleasant discovery for both the seasoned hiker and everyday walker--afoot, or on snowshoes or skis! Trails lead to summits and ridges with river, valley and mountain views, and to beauty spots worth visiting. For a private experience you don't have to drive to--away from the crowds on overused public trails.
Stonehouse Road.
Our pretty one-lane country road climbs all the way from the AuSable River (Route 9N) to the split rail fence at the Fourpeaks camp entrance, a rise of 450 feet in elevation in only 7/10 mile. A public highway since ancient times, it transport you, as if by magic, into an earlier unhurried time of home built cabins, woodfires, candlelight and shallow wells.(CLICK HERE for map.)
 Activities Nearby. Swimming, fishing, biking, canoeing, boating, museums, nature centers, shopping, food, restaurants, beer & wine in the nearby High Peaks and the greater Lake Champlain Region. Outdoor activities, educational activities, sports, tourist attractions, rainy day things to do. (A personal selection.)
Swim/Float the AuSable River and discover old-fashion swimming fun in a natural place with no chlorine or crowds of people. CLICK HERE for all about our nearby AuSable River swimming holes with map link for how to get there. CLICK HERE for (NY Times article) "Where the Pools Are Never Crowded, And Water Slides Are Nature's Own." And CLICK HERE for lake swimming places not too far away.
Bring Plastic Floats! For Fourpeaks swimming and floating fun we suggest that you bring along with you a toy tube/ring float, especially if you have kids. (There's a compressor with the proper fittings at Camp Barn to keep your tube properly inflated.) CLICK HERE for more about plastic floats.
 Taylor Pond, A Wilderness Lake.
Fourpeaks private trails on 700 acres with 4 mountains are a first "must see" for walks with scenic views and Beauty Spots. A 1/4-mile AuSable River trail for swimming/floating/dog running. But if you're here for more than just a few days we reccommend a day trip to Taylor Pond, a New York State wilderness property with a 5-mile lake for canoeing, swimming, fishing, or just looking at.

It's the world out there on the web. Much of the "writing" is uneven. A lot of it is just empty puff. Graphic presentations overuse gimmicks like frames, marquees, bouncing banners and blinking things. But there is a fund of useful information and beauty out there, too. Here are a few websites for the consideration of our Fourpeaks guests. The sample graphics and text will help you decide before you CLICK!

Whether you're an experienced webmaster or just a novice surfer, you may have feedback or suggestions to help us improve. We well remember the visitor who complained about the unpleasant glare from the HTML default royal blue links. That lead us to entirely revamp our background and link colors, making them softer, more eye pleasing. And the Florida expert who warned us about frustrating visitors with blind links. We followed his advice and now carefully identify links so visitors know before they "click" exactly where they're clicking to. Your comments or suggestions will be equally appreciated.
