Vanderwhacker Mountain is a 3,389-foot-tall (1,033 m) mountain in the Adirondack Mountains region of New York. It is located northeast of Indian Lake and southeast of Newcomb in Essex County. The Vanderwhacker Mountain Fire Observation Station is located on top of the mountain. In May 1911, the Conservation Commission built a wooden fire observation tower on the mountain which was replaced in 1918, with a 35-foot-tall (11 m) metal tower. The tower stopped fire watching operations at the end of the 1988 season.
