Silvermine Lake to Black Mountain Trail Reviews & Reports

Excellent moderate hike. Trails clearly marked. At Appalachian crossing, you can cut 2 miles off hike by taking the white w/ red dot trail. Beware of ticks. We removed many so check yourself frequently and at home afterwards. Try to pick sunny clear day to optimize views of NY skyline. We had cloudy day and it was barely visible.

Great trail. Very little traffic and a couple of solid climbs. Only downside was a seemingly long stretch of road to get back to the trailhead towards the end.
