Streeter Mountain

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Streeter Mountain is a short hike along a well-developed trail that passes by Streeter Lake and leads toward Star Lake. The bushwhack is an easy 0.5 miles through an open hardwood forest with limited views through the trees, but does make for a wonderful hike through an undeveloped wilderness area.
