The path of least resistance or the liquid highway, for some it's the only way to travel along the Adirondack Scenic Byways
Sawyer Mountain NYSDEC Trailhead
Central Adirondack Trail, State Rt. 28 and State Rt. 30, near Indian Lake in Hamilton County
A great beginner hike only about 1.1 miles to a summit.
At 2.2 miles round trip, with an easy climb, this is one of the easiest summits in the Adirondacks. There are partial views from ledges near the summit, which is wooded, but a bit further along there is a rock ledge with a scenic overlook. Located between Indian Lake and f Blue Mountain Lake on the west side of Route 28, the parking is well marked.
