Stewart's Ledge Trail

The hike to beautiful Shelving Rock Falls is only a half mile and well worth the side trip if visiting the east side of Lake George.  Shelving Rock Road, the road to the parking area, is long, winding, and unpaved, but maintained pretty well and passable in a sedan. You'll want to take the road almost to its end and park in the small lot on the left side of the road just after the bridge on Sh...

There are a few options for this mountain. The route described is the easiest approach and therefore the nicest for a sunset hike. Starting at the trailhead on Shelving Rock Road the sign will read 2.5 miles to the summit. The trail is easy to follow and marked with blue discs. Gentle grade for the majority of the hike with a few steeper areas after the 1.0 mile mark. You will pass over severa...

The trailhead for Shelving Rock Mountain has enough room for about five cars but additional parking can be found on the road leading to it. Be sure to sign the log book and begin the hike by passing around the "stop" car barrier. The trail starts off following a small stream (on your right) but you will soon veer off to the left at the first junction. The signs are easy to follow. After a litt...

The Pinnacle via Red Trail is a great, easy hike with views of Lake George, near Bolton Landing, NY. There is a small parking lot at the trailhead with overflow cars parking alongside the street.  This hike is along an out-and-back trail that is a little over 2 miles total and full of beautiful views! Dogs are permitted on a leash. 

Parking is available at the end of Dacy Clearing Rd. There are great primitive campsites throughout the area. In winter and mud season you will have to park at the start of Dacy Clearing Rd which adds 1.6 miles each way. From the parking clearing, turn right passing through a gate. Soon you reach an intersection with a large rock. Head right to make a counter-clockwise loop. You climb a ser...

There are a few ways to approach these two peaks. We chose to do a traverse using two vehicles. Starting at Edgecomb Pond Rd you will park along the road. There will be a sign and yellow discs directing you to the start of the trail. The first 0.4 miles is following a dirt road. You will then reach a junction in which you will turn left following the red trail 1.4 miles to the summit of Ca...
