Plateau Mountain
About
Plateau Mountain is a summit in New York, rising to 3,832 feet about 4.4 miles from the town of Tannersville. It sits among a cluster of trails and climbing areas in the Catskills, which makes it a natural addition to a day spent exploring the high ground around Tannersville. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from the Slide Mtn weather station, about 15 miles away, put July highs near 74°F with lows around 56°F. That station sits well below the summit, so expect cooler temperatures on top. Mink Hollow Trail, a mountain biking route, is just 0.6 miles away. Pecoy Notch Trail and Jimmy Dolan Notch Trail are both within about 3 miles for hikers, and Devil's Path, another mountain biking route, lies about 3.6 miles off.
