Trail Overview
Brewer Lake Trail is a straightforward lake hike in Black River Wild Forest, reached from Benchmark Road off Route 28 near Otter Lake. The trail runs 2.1 miles from the trailhead to Brewer Lake, which aligns with a roughly 4.2-mile round trip. The route is best presented as a quieter western Adirondack forest and lake destination rather than a high viewpoint hike.
