"The red DEC marked Prospect Mountain Trail is 1.5 miles long, leads steeply at times to the 2021 foot summit of Prospect Mountain. To reach the trail from Lake George Village, turn left on Montcalm Street to Smith Street. At Smith Street, turn south a half block to the sign indicating the start of the trail, where it crosses the Northway on a pedestrian bridge. The climb to the summit is difficult but rewarding."
