Cat Mountain Red Trail

A marked segment within the Lake George Land Conservancy's trail system, this route extends just over one and a half kilometers through the Cat Mountain area, following red disc blazes. The trail is maintained by the conservancy and offers a relatively short excursion for those exploring the eastern Adirondack foothills above Lake George. Though modest in length, the path is reported to provide access to the wooded slopes characteristic of this transitional landscape between the lake basin and the higher peaks to the north.
