You need to stand on the rock to see (as of July 26, 2014) due to beechwood growth. View is of Balsam Lake and surrounds.

Balsam Lake Mountain is the southwest-most of the Catskill 35 peaks over 3500. The view won't include any of those (might be able to see Table or Peekamoose on far left) but there are other Catskill hills and mountains!
The body of water just beyond the dead tree is Beecher Lake, purportedly where Heriot Beecher Stow wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin.
