Hike Description: Mt. Arab is part of the Tupper Lake Triad Hiking Challenge and an ADK Fire Tower. The trail is moderately steep and steady for the bulk of the hike, but there are short, steep sections. The trail begins climbing immediately. The trail tops out on the semi-open summit.

You will approach the summit from behind the old fire tower observer’s cabin, which is now a museum run by the Friends of Mount Arab. To the right, there is a small side trail with views overlooking the private Mount Arab and Eagle Crag lakes. For 360-degree views, climb to the top of the 35-foot fire tower, which was restored by the DEC and Friends of Mount Arab.
