Nature Hike with Ed: Coney Mountain
Coney Mountain rises between the villages of Tupper Lake and Long Lake on the border between Franklin and Hamilton Counties. The trail is 2.2 miles roundtrip and passes through beautiful woods, including a stand of old-growth sugar maples leading to the summit. Breeding birds will be singing. The 360 degree view from the open, rocky summit is stunning. The western lake district of the Adirondacks spreads grandly in one direction, while to the East, weather permitting, we’ll gaze toward the High Peaks. Elevation gain is a little more than 523 feet. Altitude at the summit is 2267 feet. Meet at the trailhead at 1:30pm. What to Bring: Proper footwear for a hike like sneakers or boots, appropriate clothing, water and snacks if desired. Registration required for this hike. Directions and more information will be sent after registration. Click HERE to register $3 for ADKX Members; $5 for general public.
