Mount Defiance stands at 817 feet above Ticonderoga, overlooking Lake Champlain and the ruins of Fort Ticonderoga. A short, steep trail leads to the summit where British artillery once commanded the valley — views span the lake and the southern Adirondacks.
Nearby waters include La Chute River and Lake George.
