Description Suggest change

This region includes all of the crags on or around Indian Lake, Johnsburg, and Speculator.

Getting There Suggest change

The cliffs around Johnsburg (Gore Mountain, Crane Mountain, Huckleberry) are very accessible, all within 30 minutes of the Northway. The cliffs around Indian Lake (Sugarloaf, Cedar River Crag, Starbuck) are pretty much in the middle of the park.

From the south, leave the Northway at Warrensburg. From the north, exit at Pottersville.
