Hiking Moxham Mountain

From the trailhead you start climbing immediately, but over the entire course of the hike it is never more than a moderate climb. Quickly you will come to your first view as you top out on the first smaller bump of the ridge. A modest descent will bring you to a dried up beaver pond and a brook crossing, a very scenic area, followed by a climb through a shallow valley that ends on a scenic ridge where the views are some of the best in the Adirondacks.

Once the ridge is gained the summit is not too far away — its sheer ledge can be seen in the distance. The high summits of Indian Lake can be seen from the top, as well as the High Peaks Wilderness Area off the opposite side.

In the winter

Moxham Mountain is a popular mountain for snowshoeing in the winter, but it is not practical for cross-country skiing. Be prepared for all winter conditions.
