Saint Regis Mountain is a 2,874-foot (876 m) mountain in the town of Santa Clara, New York, in Franklin County at the center of the Saint Regis Canoe Area in the Adirondack Park.
It can be climbed from a trailhead on Keese Mills Road in Keese Mill, west of Paul Smiths, and from a trail that starts at a landing on Upper Saint Regis Lake just south of Camp Topridge, a Great Camp built by Marjorie Merriweather Post. [1] The view from the summit includes thirty lakes, including the Upper and Lower Saranac Lake, and Upper and Lower Saint Regis Lake. [2]
The summit is bare rock, having been cleared by a fire started accidentally by a surveying party led by Verplanck Colvin in 1876. There is a fire tower on the summit that is presently closed, although a restoration effort is underway.
