COOK MOUNTAIN VIDEO PREMIERE: Protection of the land is critical to the protection of the lake. Our Cook Mountain Preserve in Ticonderoga was donated in 1990 b...y the Delano family, who owned the 176 acres since 1876 when it was farmed for maple and apples. The preserve now harbors a variety of habitats, from moist wetlands and overgrown farmland to mixed hardwood/coniferous forest and dry rocky-summit grassland. The preserve, inhabited by beavers over the years, is now naturally transitioning into a beaver meadow, full of native plants, flowers and wetland critters. The property is great for hikers and explorers of all ages and includes the steeper Ridges trail which climbs to a summit with stunning views east over Ticonderoga and into Vermont and south down Lake George. The LGLC is excited to release this Find Your Happy Place video series, filmed and produced by Luke Pelli of Pelli Productions, featuring some of our most loved preserves: The Pinnacle, Amy's Park, Pilot Knob and Cook Mountain.
