Spruce Mountain
About
Spruce Mountain is a summit in New York, about 4.3 miles from the town of Corinth. The closest way up is the Spruce Mountain Trail, which starts about 1.1 miles from the top. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. At Conklingville Dam, a weather station 7.2 miles away, typical July averages run from a high of 77°F to a low of 60°F. That station sits well below the summit, so expect cooler temperatures up top. Winter averages there drop into the teens and twenties, with regular snow from December through March. The Orange Trail is 2.1 miles away and the Western Ridge Trail (Green) is 3.2 miles away. Climbers can head to the Moreau Area, about 8.7 miles off.
