Prospect Rock
About
Prospect Rock is a summit in New York, about 1.3 miles from Cooperstown. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Cooperstown show July highs around 73°F and June highs near 68°F. That station sits about 500 feet below the summit, so temperatures up top run cooler. Close by, Star Field Trail lies less than half a mile away, and the Susquehanna River offers canoeing about 1.2 miles off. A little farther out are the Oaks Creek Blueway Trail, roughly 4.6 miles away, and Andy's Trail at about 5 miles.
