Cobble Hill, located in Lake Placid, NY, stands prominently on the shores of Mirror Lake. Its distinctive feature is the bare, rocky face that easily catches the eye of any passerby. This hike is particularly welcoming to beginners, offering a manageable ascent with rewarding views at the summit of Lake Placid village and the High Peaks.
Ascending Cobble Hill entails a 0.8-mile hike, excluding the road walk, along a short but steep path. Beginning at the trailhead on Mirror Lake Drive and Northwood School's driveway, hikers traverse a wooden boardwalk before transitioning to a natural surface trail. The trail weaves through various terrains, including ladders, bridges, and rocky sections, providing a diverse hiking experience.
During winter, Cobble Hill transforms into a winter wonderland, attracting novice winter hikers seeking a snowy adventure. Proper gear like snowshoes and microspikes are essential for a safe hike, especially on the steeper, rocky stretches. The trail's accessibility year-round and its proximity to Lake Placid make it an ideal choice for those new to winter hiking.
