Salmon Lake Mountain rises to 2,500 feet in the western Adirondacks, offering a moderate climb with a fire tower at the summit. The trail is 2.6 miles one-way from the trailhead on Route 30 near Paul Smiths — open views across the St. Regis Canoe Area from the tower deck.
Nearby waters include Touey Pond and Sly Pond.
