Green Lake Boulders is a bouldering area in the Shaker Mountain Wild Forest in New York, managed by the State Department of Conservation. It sits among a cluster of climbing spots, with Rookie Boulder just 0.1 mile away and Pinnacle Pullout Boulders and Area 1 each about 0.9 mile off. The boulders here offer a range of grades, from the V0 "Parole Officer" to the V8- "Knee Deep," with the median route at V3. That makes the area a good fit for climbers of different skill levels, with options for both easy warm-ups and more challenging problems. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run to highs around 77°F in July and lows near 56°F, while winter highs stay in the 20s. For a change from the rocks, the Burnt Valley Trail is about 3.6 miles away, and the Long Lake Trail and Spectacle Lake Trail are within about 5 miles.
