Trail description
The Baldface Mountain Trail, listed at 2,230 feet on the map, starts on the northeast shore of Indian Lake and climbs 580 feet over 1.3 miles from the shore to the summit. It lies within the Jessup River Wild Forest, in New York State. These figures come from the trail map published by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), dated September 2018.
The USGS Geographic Names Information System lists Baldface Mountain as a summit in Hamilton County, New York. On the DEC map, the trail runs from the lake shore up to the mountain, and contour lines are drawn every 100 feet. The map shows no road or parking area leading to the start of the trail.
The DEC asks visitors to respect private property, stay on designated trails and practice Leave No Trace principles. Check with the DEC before your outing (access, parking, season, fees).
