Chimney Mountain

Indian Lake, New York

Getting to Chimney mountain: Coming from Indian Lake, head south on Route 30 and turn left on Big Brook Rd after about 0.5 mile. Follow Big Brook Rd for 8 miles to end. The trailhead is on private property. Keep your dogs on leash and pay the $2 parking fee.

The trail is well marked and easy to follow along. The trail has a gradual rise of about 900 feet to the elevation of 2,720 feet. Towards the top there are a few very short steeper section. Its approximately 2.5miles round trip depending on how much exploring you do up top.

Navigating around is pretty straightforward, going in and out of caves. There was a set of caves closed due to protecting the bats. There was a lot to enjoy, even the cool breeze that sneaks its way through the caves was refreshing
