Hadley Mountain is located one hour north of Saratoga Springs in the Wilcox Wilderness area of the Adirondack State Park. When you reach the summit of this popular destination you will be rewarded with expansive views of Great Sacandaga Lake to the south and on a clear day the High Peaks to the north. Lake Champlain lies off to the east with the Green Mountains off in the distance. The trailhead and trail are maintained well for the amount of foot traffic this mountain gets. A couple of sections on the hike are steep and will definitely get the heart pumping.
