A great hike of moderate difficulty. The summit is lovely, with beautiful views of Lake George and…read morethe surrounding mountains. Some areas of the trail are fairly eroded, but there were crews there working to protect the trail and divert water. Even with a full parking lot, the hike was long enough that we didn't see people very often along the way. We saw some families with little ones, but none near the top, so I'm not sure how far they made it. This wouldn't be an easy hike carrying kids, and I don't think most kids under 10 would stick it through to the end. A few portions are pretty steep, so it'd be tough on little legs. The one downside is that apparently Dacy Clearing Road isn't always fully open to vehicles, so rather than parking closer to the trailhead, you may have a few extra miles to walk on a gravel road. This takes your roundtrip from approximately 5 miles to roughly 8.

One of the most beautiful places I've hiked in. The view from the summit is spectacular on a sunny…read moresummer day, and probably even better in the fall. The hike to the top can be long or short, depending on your skill level, and how you want it to be. If you choose to do a longer hike, you can park at the Hogtown parking lot at the bottom. If you choose the shorter path ( 1.8 mi) to the summit, you must drive further down a dirt path (if the gate to go further is open) for another mile or so and park at the Dacy clearing. The hike itself is not bad. It can be a little rocky and steep, but if you're in average shape, you should be okay. It is for the average to moderate hikers. There were a lot of families with smaller children and dogs when I went. It's definitely something a family can enjoy. If you go on a nice day, I would recommend bringing lunch or snacks with you. It was really nice to eat with a view of the Adirondacks, and Lake George.

This is an excellent autumn hike with amazing views. Although short at only two miles from…read moretrailhead to summit, you'll need proper shoes for this hike and you will warm up due to the steep grade and moderate rock scrambling. We took the red trail all the way to the top and we took the blue trail on the way down (it merges with the red trail). I'm giving four stars because the trail marking are really good, except where they aren't and just disappear for a while or entirely. The red trail is mostly well marked, though there were still times when we just had to keep heading up the mountain because we couldn't find the next marker. On our way down, the blue trail was really, really well marked until it just stopped and we could not find another marker. I'm not a fan of going off trail because I know it can be dangerous and it can be damaging to local ecosystems, but without a clear trail to follow and nearly a mile into the woods, we did the best we could (kept heading downhill and to the right hoping to find the red trail, but eventually finding the road anyway). If you start at the trailhead, you will walk up metal stairs and onto a walkway over the highway. From there, you'll follow the trail about a mile up where you will find a road. Beware of traffic, cross the road, and you'll have another mile to go to reach the summit (you can take red or blue trail) where there is a parking lot and great viewing.

The Hudson River Recreation Area (also called Hudson River Special Management Area by NYS DEC and…read moreWarren County Cross Country Ski Trails by Warren County, NY) is a system of hiking and crosscountry ski trails located north of Warrensburg Village, adjacent to Cronin's Golf Course, and within the Lake George Wild Forest. There is no fee. There are about two miles of trails, mostly flat but some easy hills. In the winter, skiers may ski on the golf course that borders the recreation area. The Hudson River is less than a quarter mile from the parking lot and may be level enough for those who are wheelchair-bound, but use your own judgment. This area is within the Hudson River Ice Meadows, so in winter there are great views of the frazil ice that form on the river bank - layers of huge plates of brilliant white ice that form along the shore. In the summer, the river bank has some relatively flat rocks near the water's edge for swimming, sunbathing and picnicking. Snowmobiles, ATVs and other motor vehicles aren't allowed. Dogs are permitted on leashes. In winter, this is a good place to crosscountry ski, but the trails aren't groomed. Also, these are multi-use trails, so you may be skiing in the postholes of hikers. To get there: from the 5-way intersection in the center of Warrensburg Village, go north on Hudson Street. This changes to Golf Course Rd when it leaves the village. At 2.5 miles from the village, look on the left for a parking lot and a sign that says Hudson River Recreation Area. Or set your GPS unit to 538 Golf Course Rd, Warrensburg, NY or (43.5159, -73.8113).
