Loon Lake Mtn is a climbing area in New York, about 4 miles from the village of Loon Lake. It sits close to several trails, making it an easy addition to a day spent exploring the surrounding mountains and lakes. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 77°F with lows near 51°F, and the station sits roughly 1,000 feet below the mountain, so temperatures up top run cooler. The closest trail is the Loon Lake Mountain Trail, less than a mile away. Within a few miles you'll also find the Lake hike, the Bog Trail and the Debar Mountain Trail.
