About This Trail

Imported description

It's easy to moderate hike with two ways to the top. One trail, which goes south from the kiosk, is much easier to navigate. The main route is shorter. The view at the top is very nice, with Lake St, Catherine and the southern Adirondacks to the west. There is a platform for camping. Slate Valley Trails maintains another trail system for hiking and mountain bike riding that has some nice views.
