Hiking in Adirondack Park

Black Bear Mountain (3.8 miles round trip)


   

 

Directions:  The trailhead is off NY 28 between Eagle Bay and Inlet, NY; north of Old Forge.  Check out another map & pictures below from my hike on 10/4/07.  There are two other hikes close by.  The trail to Rocky Mountain is at the same trailhead and Ferd's Bog trail is off Uncas Road (Brown's Tract Road).

From the NY 28 trailhead, follow the yellow discs on a well used trail.  At 0.7 miles reach a "Y" junction of two yellow trails and veer right.  Soon the trail is marked with blue discs.  Great views await on the summit of Black Bear Mountain.  There are some steep sections.  This hike is 1.9 miles one way to the summit (3.8 miles round trip).  There is an elevation change of almost 700 feet on this hike.
