Moscow Hill
About
Moscow Hill is a summit in central New York, about 8 miles from the small town of South Edmeston. Summer into early fall is the most comfortable time to visit: typical averages from a nearby weather station at Sherburne show July highs around 80°F with lows near 57°F, and September highs near 72°F. That station sits roughly 700 feet below the summit, so temperatures on top run cooler. Two campgrounds sit just under a mile away, Moscow Hill Horse Camp and Moscow Hill Assembly Area. Truck Trail 12 and Cherry Ridge Camping Area are each about 1.2 miles off, making the hill easy to pair with a night of camping or a longer walk.
