The trailhead sign is located on NY Route 3, 1.6 miles from it's intersection with NY Route 30. Drive east toward Saranac Lake until you see the parking area on the right, the trailhead is immediately opposite on the left.

Click for Tupper Lake, New York Forecast The trail is about 0.8 mi one way and is a steady progression through pines, maples, and birch trees to the exposed rocky and grassy summit.

On the top, the chimneystacks of the old paper mills at Tupper Lake are visible on the western horizon. Panther Pond lies to the south.

There are also good views of Ampersand, the Sewards, and the Raquette valey.

Altitude is estimated as I did not record it when I summited, just coordinates. I collected the estimated altitude from geocaching.com benchmark coordinates for the Panther Mt Tri Station at the summit.

Altitude in Feet: 2238
