Bare Rock From the West

Bare Rock is an astonishing lookout point over Greenwood Lake.  This hike features access from the west by parking off E. Shore Rd in Greenwood Lake, NY

Sterling Forest Trail Set

I'm working on a clean version. 

Sterling North Route

JH-RW  picking up the Lake to Lake trail in Sterling Forest.  Heading either direction the issue is getting over the mountain.  The western side of Lake to Lake (L2L) is in really bad shape.  Major erosion, on either the trail or the quad bypass it is mostly fall line.  Too steep for me to ride up.  Down is hairy when wet.  The eastern side of L2L seems doable riding up.  Down is fun. 

From Sterling Lake heading South into Tranquility Ridge, via Western Beech Rd. runs into the big muddy.  Not good.  From there the climb west up and over the mountain is way steep.  I don't even think it will be good downhill.  It does however, connect directly to L2L.  There are a couple of trails to explore on the eastern flanks.  I also need to head south and check some other possible routes.

One good thing about L2L is you can take it out to Castle Tavern for a beer.
