#4 Fish with a goal in mind
Pick your favorite local fish and make it your goal to catch that fish this summer. Whether it is a walleye, bass, or bullhead this mission promises fun and great memories. For some, fishing will not be completely free. If you are over the age of 16 you are required to have a New York State fishing license. A license is $25.00 per year, with other shorter term options available. Anyone below the age of 16 can fish without a license. You can usually pick up a cheap pole at Walmart for under $30.00.
#3 Check out all 3 fire towers in our area
Back in the day fire towers were an important part of forest management. In the 80's and 90's New York State stopped using them for the purpose of fire detection and prevention. Today they serve as a great place to visit. Most fire towers are at the peak of a hike but some are fairly easy to access. They are usually surrounded by beautiful views so be sure to bring your phone or camera to snap some pics or a selfie. There are 3 fire towers in our immediate area:
Spruce Mountain Fire Tower
