Trail Overview

Cook Mountain is an LGLC preserve in Ticonderoga with a compact but varied trail system. LGLC describes three trails, beginning with an easy yellow trail through lower preserve terrain and then a red Ridges Trail that climbs steeply before continuing more gradually to views over Lake George, Flat Rock, Anthony's Nose, Rogers Rock, and Vermont. The preserve also includes a blue trail to a Civil War-era cemetery.
