This is one of the most popular hikes in the Lake George Region. The trailhead is conveniently located in Lake George Village, and the summit features outstanding views of the lake and surrounding area.

**There are two ways to get to the top of Prospect mountain: **

1. Take the hike, which clocks in at roughly three miles round trip.

2. Drive to the top via the Veterans Memorial Highway. This 5.5-mile long route was built in 1969. The entrance is on the right directly opposite the Lake George Chamber of Commerce. The Highway is open seasonally (from May 29 - November 11, 2021), and there is a small fee to access the route.
