From NYDEC: "Prospect Mountain Hiking Trail: This red-marked 1-5/8 mile trail leads to summit of Prospect Mountain. To reach trail from Lake George Village, turn west on Montcalm Street (away from lake) to Smith Street; turn south 1/2 block to trailhead sign. Trail crosses 1-87 on elevated walkway. The climb to the summit is not difficult. One part of the trail follows the road bed of an old funicular railway that served a once-thriving summer hotel on the mountain."
From me: This is a worthwhile hike if you plan to be in the area; the trailhead is easily accessible, the trails are well-maintained, there are facilities at the top, and the view from the peak is amazing. (There is also a toll road if you would rather drive up.) Listed coordinates are for the "Smith Street" footbridge entrance.
