Mount Arab

Coney Mountain
Coney Mountain is also about 2 miles roundtrip, with large boulders and ecological features along the winding trail, and a pair of narrow wooden bog bridges. At the top, you'll see Goodman Mountain, Mount Morris, Tupper Lake, and some High Peaks.
Goodman Mountain
At slightly longer than the other two at 3 miles roundtrip, the Goodman Mountain hike consists of a trial with both paved and dirt areas, and a wooden bridge. There are some steep spots. Check out views of Tupper Lake, Mount Morris, and Coney Mountain from the top.
