Nature can be so peaceful, a quiet place where we can escape and listen only to the melody of the birds, the babbling of flowing brooks, and the rustling of the trees. Surround yourself with nature when you follow the Peaked Mountain Trail in New York, which is bursting with natural beauty and views that are second to none.
Tucked in Siamese Ponds Wilderness in North Creek, Peaked Mountain Trail measures just under seven miles and is brimming with such natural beauty as a lake, a pond, and babbling brooks.

You’ll definitely want to be up for the challenge of the trail that will take you to the summit of Peaked Mountain. (The summit sits at 2,919 feet.)

Stroll along Thirteenth Lake for the first mile of the trail, which is predominately flat. It’s also an ideal time to conserve your energy for the climb ahead. (The trail gets steep near the summit.)

You can also bring your pup along on the trail. However, dogs must remain leashed for the entire hike.
