2013 Map of Bad Luck Mountain

About this map

The Hudson River carves through the heart of this landscape, flanked by a complex network of ridges and isolated peaks including Bad Luck Mtn, Big Pisgah Mtn, and McGinn Hill. In the northern section, the Northwoods Club and the curiously named Saints Rest represent the quiet settlement character of this Adirondack region. The terrain is defined by its abundance of water bodies, from the Essex Chain Lakes and Lake Snow to the dramatic Blue Ledge overlooking the river. This map documents a region where the wild character is maintained through a few key arteries like Chain Lakes Rd and Old State Route C, providing access to numerous backcountry ponds like Dunk Pond and Stonystep Pond.
