The Horicon in the Adirondacks is just east of Chestertown on Rte 8 now absorbed by "Brant lake".. We used to play them in high school basketball.

Maybe the searcher should try the Wisconsin boards for info from living tribal members on existing records. Lake Horicon is the name James Fennimore Cooper gave Lake George in his novel, The Last of the Mohicans. Horicon is a tribe of the larger group, or "Nation" Mohican who, before the arrival of Henry Hudson and small-pox, populated Lake Champlain down to Manhattan, depending on the season. They were forced "west"-at the time Wisconsin in the early 1800's (and later in that century some even further west), Decendents still reside in Wisconsin. There is a reservation in east-central Wisconsin. Their influence is found in NY and Wisconsin.
