Little Haystack stands at 4,662 feet in the Great Range, a trailless peak requiring navigation through dense forest and steep terrain. Most climbers approach from the Haystack-Basin col, adding it as an extension to a Haystack ascent.
At 4,662 ft, Little Haystack clears 4,000 feet — an Adirondack High Peak by elevation, though not one of the official 46. It is reached by the Phelps Trail (7.8 mi). Nearby waters include Haystack Brook and Basin Brook.
