Rising almost 2,000 feet
above sea level and
located in the fastest
growing town on Lake
George, the Cat and
Thomas Mountains
Preserve directly
protects the watershed
of Edgecomb Pond,
Bolton’s drinking water
source, and the
headwaters of Finkle
Brook. This magnificent
stretch of land is one
of the largest, intact,
ecologically significant
landscapes remaining on
Lake George and features
over seven miles of
trails and unsurpassed
mountain vistas. The
property has been
enjoyed recreationally
for years by the
residents of Lake George
and the Lake George Land
Conservancy plans to
keep it open for public
enjoyment for years to
come.
Just a five-minute drive
from Bolton Landing, the
trails to the summits of
Cat and Thomas Mountains
reward hikers with
outstanding views of
Lake George’s south and
central basins and the
southern Adirondacks.
The trail to Cat
Mountain follows a
logging road, past
Edgecomb Pond as well a
number of wetlands and
beaver ponds, ultimately
taking in a 270° view
of Lake George and the
Adirondacks.
