Trail Description: Churning rapids at times of high water are the allure of this relatively well drained trail. The Boreas River used to propel thousands of logs to the boom in Glens Falls each spring, but is now used by a few skilled (or suicidal) whitewater enthusiasts. The roar of the river is a constant companion as you proceed 1.2 miles to Hewitt Eddy, where the river broadens and the water becomes calmer. Either call this point you destination and return as you came, or proceed along the Hewitt Eddy Trail for .8 mile and find yourself on Rt. 28N, roughly .8 mile south of your car. If you choose to make a loop hike by returning to your car via the highway, keep in mind that cars zoom along 28N at a fast pace. Loop trip totals 2.8 miles; in and out to Hewitt Eddy: 2.4 miles.

Directions: The level trail is found on the west side of Rt. 28N, south of the Boreas River bridge. The bridge is 8.7 miles north of Minerva and 5.7 miles south of the intersection of Rt. 28N and the Tahawus Rd. Parking is located across the road from the trailhead.

Trail Description: Although this is one of the 46 high peaks in the Adirondacks, it is an exciting climb for all ages. This is a very easy climb, and takes the climber through forests of maple, birch and beech. Since it is such a popular mountain, there are always a good number of climbers on the trail and the summit. Cascade is not high enough to have a true alpine summit, but having been cleared by fire, the bare rocks afford incredible views of the surrounding peaks.

Directions: The trailhead is marked clearly by a DEC sign, on Rt. 73, in the town of Keene.
