Return to Adirondack Home page. From Prospect Mountain, Lake George and the Adirondack Mountains. From I-87, take exit 22 to Rt9S heading into Lake George. Turn right on Montcalm Street to Smith Street. At Smith Street, turn south (left) 1/2 block to the sign indicating the start of the trail, where it crosses the Northway on an elevated walkway. This is a 3 1/4 mile roundtrip hike and involves an elevation gain of ~1,000'. The trail is red marked and follows, in part, road bed of an old funicular railway that served a once thriving summer hotel on the mountain. The mountain is 2,030'. Cars can also be driven to this approximate location. Proceed to the next picture in slideshow.
