Route Guidance
Trail Overview
Cat Mountain is one of the signature Cat and Thomas Mountains objectives near Bolton Landing. LGLC describes multiple ways to reach Cat, including a direct 1.9-mile one-way route from Edgecomb Pond Road and a longer connection from Thomas Mountain. The route begins on old road grades and becomes more rugged near the upper mountain, with a summit view that looks widely across Lake George and the Adirondacks. It fits hikers who want a relatively short outing that still feels like a real climb.
