Blueberry Mountain
About
Blueberry Mountain is a summit in northern New York, rising to 2,936 feet. The nearest town is Lake Placid, about 10 miles away. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical July averages from a nearby weather station run around 74°F for highs and 54°F for lows, and the summit sits higher than that station, so expect cooler temperatures up top. Several other destinations lie within a few miles. The C: Keene Region climbing area is about a mile away, and the Little Porter Mountain Trail and Porter Ridge Trail are each roughly 2 miles off. Paddlers can head to the West Branch Ausable River, about 7 miles away.
