Dug Mountain
About
Dug Mountain is a summit in New York, about 0.7 miles from the town of Speculator. Summer into early fall is the most comfortable time to go. In July, typical averages at a nearby weather station in Indian Lake reach a high of about 75°F and a low of 54°F. That station sits roughly 1,600 feet below the summit, so temperatures up high run cooler. Winter is cold, with typical January highs around 25°F and lows near 6°F. The closest route is the Dug mountain trail, 1.7 miles away. Cisco Br. Trail #34 and Long Pond Trail lie within about 4 miles, and the Sacandaga River, a canoeing spot, is about 5.6 miles away.
