Quaker Hill
About
Quaker Hill is a summit in New York, rising to 1,880 feet about 8 miles from the town of South Edmeston. It sits among a cluster of camping and hiking spots in the surrounding area, making it a natural anchor for a day or overnight trip. Summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Sherburne, NY, show July highs around 80°F and September highs near 72°F, and the summit sits higher than that station, so expect it to run a bit cooler. Moscow Hill Horse Camp and the Moscow Hill Assembly Area are both about a mile away, and Cherry Ridge Camping Area is just beyond them. Truck Trail 12 starts about 1.1 miles off for anyone wanting to add a hike.
