This longer route leading to Lake Lila and Frederica Mountain is located in a region that usually receives abundant snowfall in the Northern Adirondacks. If the road is not plowed, park along Sabattis Road and follow Lake Lila Road, passing Otter Pond, then the junction to East Charley Pond, and then the larger Charley Pond before reaching the summer parking lot and gate at the northeast end of Lake Lila. From here, either cross the lake, or if ice conditions are questionable, follow the road along the north west shore to reach the trail junction that leads to Frederica Mountain marked by yellow markers. Continue past the old railroad tracks before turning right at the next junction. After the junction, the trail ascends to the summit where great views of High Peaks await. Retrace your tracks back to the parking lot.
