Nature
Klock Hill is a mountain in Central New York southwest of Burlington. It was once believed to be the highest point in Otsego County, a claim that fueled a local rivalry with advocates of nearby Hooker Mountain in Maryland. About a century ago, its summit was developed for visitors with a wooden observation tower, reflecting efforts to promote it as a notable scenic high point. The mountain's name came from a resident named Klock, linking the landscape to the area's settlement history.
