A 6.8-Mile Hiking Trail In New York, Peaked Mountain Trail Is Full Of Babbling Brooks

Nature can be so peaceful, a quiet place where we can escape and listen only to the melody of the birds, the babbling of flowing brooks, and the rustling of the trees. Surround yourself with nature when you follow the Peaked Mountain Trail in New York, which is bursting with natural beauty and views that are second to none.

Tucked in Siamese Ponds Wilderness in North Creek, Peaked Mountain Trail measures just under seven miles and is brimming with such natural beauty as a lake, a pond, and babbling brooks.

You'll definitely want to be up for the challenge of the trail that will take you to the summit of Peaked Mountain. (The summit sits at 2,919 feet.)

Stroll along Thirteenth Lake for the first mile of the trail, which is predominately flat. It's also an ideal time to conserve your energy for the climb ahead. (The trail gets steep near the summit.)

Make sure you wear appropriate hiking shoes, and be aware that the trail can get really slippery after a rainfall.

You can also bring your pup along on the trail. However, dogs must remain leashed for the entire hike.

Don't forget to bring your camera or smartphone along, because the views are spectacular.

You might also want to bring a picnic, so you can stop by the picturesque pond or on the shores of the lake for a relaxing bite to eat.

Save some energy for that last push that will take you to the top of the mountain and to breathtaking views.

Check out the official website of Siamese Ponds Wilderness. Or, stop by the official website of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
