Cobble Hill is a favorite hike for locals and visitors alike. The total trail distance is 0.8 miles with a 470-foot elevation gain. The trail crosses private land owned by Northwood School to reach the 2,343-foot summit on public Forest Preserve land. The summit offers views of the Village of Lake Placid, the Olympic Ski Jumping Complex, High Peaks Wilderness, Sentinel Wilderness and Whiteface Mountain. Visitors are encouraged to walk to the trailhead from the Village of Lake Placid as there is no parking on Northwood School’s property.
