Mountain Biking
Garnet Hill’s mountain biking terrain features 5 miles of new, dedicated single-track mountain biking trails in the Log House Area as well as an extensive network of pre-existing single-track trails, cross country ski trails and dirt and gravel roads. The new trails were built to the highest standards by Wilderness Property Management, a local expert in the bike world, and designed specifically for mountain bikers.
Some of our trails feature fantastic views of the Adirondack’s high peaks, while on others, you will find yourself in a serene wooded setting. After a fantastic time out on the trails, head back to the Garnet Hill Outdoor Center or the Log House Restaurant up at the Lodge for something to eat.

Hiking
Explore 600 acres of ski trails with many interesting views and destinations including Hooper’s Garnet Mine, the Sugar House and Putty Pond. Or hike to backcountry spots in the Siamese Pond Wilderness area on well maintained and well marked trails. Choose from an all day climb topping out a 4000 ft. high peak, a leisurely walk in the woods, or a fishing adventure-hike to a remote pond. Garnet Hill Lodge is an ideal Adirondack hiking lodge for outdoor southern Adirondack hiking, featuring rustic charm, modern comforts and the Log House Restaurant and Pub.
Right outside the door, guests can begin hikes and trail runs to nearby Hooper Mine, William Blake Pond, Balm of Gilead Mountain, and trails into the Siamese Ponds Wilderness Area. Rising right out of Thirteenth Lake are “The Garnet Hills” – Ruby, Peaked, Slide, Little Thirteenth, and Hour Pond mountains. A short drive (40 min.) to the state trailhead at Tawahus provides access to trails into the Adirondack High Peaks area, featuring 50 square miles of mountain wilderness and world class hiking adventures.
