Hiking Noonmark Mountain

This 2.2 mile, one way, hike is over moderate to steep terrain. From the parking lot (parking is not permitted on the road past the parking area), walk up the dirt road for around 0.25 miles to the register at the trailhead for Noonmark Mountain. The trail starts on a private driveway for 0.2 mi. before the foot trail bears right just before a large barn at the end of the driveway. From this point the trail is moderate as it follows an old woods road. At a bit over 0.5 miles from the trailhead you will come to the intersection for Noonmark Mountain on the right. From here the trail climbs much more aggressively through an attractive mixed forest. As you ascend, the approach becomes a bit more demanding and you will find more rock slab under foot and a trail lined with cedars. The final approach to the summit is quite steep over open rock, and the views begin to unfold.

Noonmark in the winter

Noonmark can be a challenging mountain in the winter, so make sure you are prepared. Snowshoes and microspikes are necessary. Plan on temperatures in the higher elevations being at least 20 degrees colder than at the trailhead, not including the windchill. Bring several extra non-cotton layers, a headlamp with spare batteries, extra food, a windbreaker, goggles, and a face mask.

Find your perfect trail near Keene Valley

Does Noonmark sound amazing, but a little more than you want to tackle right now? No need to stress, with over 2000 miles of hiking trails in the Adirondacks we are sure we can find the perfect hike for you. 

How to get there

From the intersection of Route 86 and Route 73 in Lake Placid, follow Route 73 toward Keene. Continue through Keene and Keene Valley and proceed to Saint Huberts. Locate the trailhead for Giant Mountain and Roaring Brook Falls on the left. The parking for Noonmark is directly across the road.
