Black Mountain Point Trail

A modest segment of the Lake Champlain region's trail network, this 2.8-kilometer route follows red disc blazes through terrain that leads toward the eastern shore overlooks of Black Mountain Point. Maintained by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the trail is reported to serve both as a destination in itself and as a connector within the broader web of paths that lace the eastern Adirondacks. The route's relatively short length suggests an accessible outing, though conditions and difficulty will vary with season and recent weather.
