A brief spur within the Lake George Wilderness Network, this quarter-mile connector leads from the main trail system to an overnight shelter on Fifth Peak. Yellow discs bearing a tent icon mark the route, which is maintained by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Though short, the trail serves as the primary access point for hikers seeking the lean-to, a destination popular with those exploring the eastern High Peaks fringe.
Fifth Peak Lean-To Trail runs 0.2 miles (0.4 km) — an easy hike, nearly level throughout, about 5 minutes on the trail. New York State Department of Environmental Conservation maintains the route.
