Scarface Mountain, located in Saranac Lake, NY, offers a challenging and scenic hiking experience. With a distance of 3.8 miles to the summit and an elevation gain of 1,480 feet, hikers can expect varied terrain and steep sections along the trail. While the summit itself does not offer a view, there are side trails that lead to open ledges with stunning views of Oseetah Lake and the Saranac Lakes chain. The trailhead is easily accessible from Route 86 in Saranac Lake, making it a convenient destination for outdoor enthusiasts.
Currently, the Scarface Trail is closed due to unsafe public use of the bridge, and it is expected to remain closed until the structure is replaced in 2024. Hikers are advised not to attempt to use the bridge or cross the brook on foot. However, once the trail reopens, adventurers can look forward to a challenging and rewarding hike through a beautiful forested landscape, with opportunities to enjoy breathtaking views along the way.
