High Peaks Region Topo Map (Sample Portion: Fourpeaks Area.) In the midst of over 3,000 acres of New York State and private forest lands with no access except for Stonehouse Road, Fourpeaks is miles away from development of any kind. The topographic representation show the "Hidden Valley" character at Fourpeaks, with four moderate mountain peaks close by (Bassett, Wainwright, Ebenezer and Rattlesnake Knob) . An ideal protected site for early settlers. Seven families lived here during the last century. The schoolhouse was at the bottom of the hill. Homesites still marked by open fields and cellars.

 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. A fire on Basset Mountain in the early 60's left a network of fire roads as well. Salvage harvesting after the great Ice Storm in January '98 improved access to the higher elevations. 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.
