HIKING FLOODWOOD MOUNTAIN


Floodwood Mt
Elevation: 1942 ft
Round Trip: 3.4 miles
Not a one of the 46 high peaks
Directions: Northern Adirondack Park. Off Rt. 30 N. Turn LEFT on Floodwood Rd. Stay on the road for 7 miles until you reach the parking area and trailhead. 
Climbed: August 2011
Weather: 70's and partly cloudy

We are camping at Rollins Pond which is a 20 min. ride to the mountain. It was a great day to do some hiking. The trail itself was very thick at first with plenty of wild prickly bushes tugging on the clothing. It was a well beaten trail, however it was not marked. It was surprisingly steep trail at first but improved as we were nearing the peak. Majority of the hike was in a wooded area. The views are rewarding. While looking South the ADK High Peaks in a distance (as seen above). Great day trip for any group size.
