Blue Mountain rises 1,532 feet above the central Adirondacks and supports a staffed fire tower — one of the few still active for wildfire detection. The 2-mile trail from the trailhead is steep but short, and the tower cab opens summit views across hundreds of square miles of forest and water.
Nearby waters include Flat Rock Reservoir and Oswegatchie River.

Sunrise on the dock, a cairn at the summit, a bend on the trail. Your camera roll, our archive.
Add a photo →Trail conditions, water level, bug pressure, blowdown. The kind of detail that helps the next person plan.
Write a field note →Wrong elevation, outdated access notes, a coordinate that's drifted. We'd rather hear it than miss it.
