About

The story

P Gay Mountain is a mountain located in Adirondack Mountains of New York located in the Town of Indian Lake east of Indian Lake. Its name likely is derived from the “P.K. Slip” to its north west on the Hudson River, located east of the “O.K. Slip” from which a lake, falls and creek still retain their name to this day.
