Five Mile Mountain from Deer Leap Trailhead via Tongue Mountain Range Trail
Primary Route
Longer northern Tongue Range approach to Five Mile Mountain.
Route Guidance
Trail Overview
Five Mile Mountain is a more demanding Tongue Range objective, best understood as part of the Lake George ridge system rather than a short summit hike. The hiking character is longer, drier, and more sustained than many moderate Adirondack outings, with repeated ridge travel and lake views shaping the day.
