Easy going gently sloping trail that is approx 1.1 miles to an open rock summit with 360 degree views The Coney Mountain Trail is a very gentle trail that winds around the mountain for about 1.1 miles to the summit with an elevation gain of 523 feet by the time you reach the summit at 2267'. The summit is completely open and offers amazing 360 degree views. Nice easy hike for the pups and young ones.
The trailhead is located on NY 30, just north of a snow plow turn around at the Hamilton/Franklin County line. There is a wide paved shoulder on NY 30 near the marked trailhead.
August 12, 2020Nice trail, steeper than expected. Great 360 view at top!

August 11, 2020August 10, 2020Gorgeous views for very little work. Kids and dogs should have no problem-very easy grade.
August 9, 2020August 9, 2020Went for a sunset hike, it was stunning! Great view! No one else there on a Saturday evening, hardly any bugs. Half hour up and half hour to get down. Bring a flashlight for going back down.
August 8, 2020Well marked, easy hiking with moderate ascents
August 8, 2020August 7, 2020August 6, 20201st one we completed of our Tupper Lake Triad and my personal favorite. Stunning view at the top. Great to do with kids.
August 5, 2020Great trail. Not buggy at all. The views were great—360 all around! Not overly packed!
August 3, 2020August 2, 2020Easy trail but as the last of the Tupper lake triad it was harder than I thought it would be. Nice view for very little work!
August 1, 2020Nice trail, very easy to travel. Not a lot of markers but well traveled enough you don’t need to worry about it. Lots of people out today. My first hike in just over two months since injuring my knee. Boyfriend and my 5 year old daughter came with. Took us an hour and a half with time on the top to snack and take pictures. Beautiful view at the summit, highly recommend. :)
July 31, 2020Super easy hike with an amazing view
July 31, 2020Nice. Beautiful view
July 30, 2020Completed this trail as part of the triad today. Great trail! The view of the top is absolutely worth the hike!!
July 29, 2020Catching up on a busy week in the ADK. Completed on July 29. Just found out about the Tupper Triad and realized that the Fire Tower challenge is a bit ambitious this year so ... going for an easy patch. Started with The Wilds this morning, Coney and following up with Goodman. There was rain this morning but Coney Mountain was dry. It was probably a good thing as there were a few large rocks that might have been slippery. Map My Run showed this at 2.12 miles and 1 hr 31 mins. This doesn't include resting time at the top. Many groups wandering the trail today but not over crowded. Very few bugs to worry about. There was a great view from the top ... as always. Overall this was a great hike.
July 25, 2020Easy af
July 23, 2020Easy hike with little incline. Great 360 view at the top. Recommend for children and dogs.
July 21, 2020Great hike!!! The view at the summit was AMAZING!!!!
July 15, 2020A great hike with gorgeous 360 degree views. It’s a fairly gradual incline all the way up to the peak. Did it with my 50 yr old father and we had very little trouble, 1 hour round trip!
July 15, 2020this is a recommended hike to anyone with or without small kids. this view is amazing for the hike length. the 360 view is breathtaking and one of my favorite hikes
July 12, 2020i was so pleasantly surprised with this hike!! fun little walk through the woods and a minimal elevation gain, but you can't beat the 360 degree summit views for the amount of effort! great for beginner hikers, but still enjoyable for experienced hikers too! I did it as the last hike of my day to complete the Tupper Lake Triad.
July 10, 2020The only reason this is getting 4 stars is because of the view. This is a tough, rough, rocky, and hilly hike. My kids (7 & 4) struggled at this as did my MIL with bad knees. It was also very buggy at the top then coming back down. The views are awesome though.
July 10, 2020Great beginner hike but also great for all hikers. Only about 2.2 miles in total. Takes about an hour and half depending on pace. Buggy, I got bit right when I reached the top and it was excruciating pain . Wonderful views tho, very mellow compared to most. But still beautiful
July 3, 2020Heavily trafficked trail, there were several families and dogs. A little muggy and rocky in some places, the trail to the summit is definitely steep! The dog loved it, and for someone who is out of shape, it only took and hour and 14 minutes to get to the top. The downward trek was a little dicey in some places, but I’m also afraid of heights.
