West Mountain rises to 2,441 feet above the village of Lake George, a short, steep climb that ends with sweeping views of the lake and surrounding peaks. The trailhead sits on Route 9N; the round-trip covers roughly 3 miles and gains 800 feet — a half-day effort popular for its proximity and payoff.
Nearby waters include Train Pond and McCavanaugh Pond.

Write a field note →Wrong elevation, outdated access notes, a coordinate that's drifted. We'd rather hear it than miss it.
