French Point Mountain
About
French Point Mountain is a summit in New York, about 4 miles from the village of Bolton Landing. It rises to 1,751 feet. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring through early fall. Typical averages from the nearby Whitehall weather station show September highs around 74°F with lows near 52°F, and July highs around 83°F. That station sits well below the summit, so temperatures up top run cooler. Several trails start close by. Black Mountain Point Trail and Lakeside Trail are each about 1.4 miles away, and Fishbrook Pond-Lake George Trail is about 1.5 miles off. Climbers can head to Ark Wall, roughly 2.9 miles away.
