Rusk Mountain, Mountain summit in Catskill Mountains, New York, United States
Rusk Mountain reaches an elevation of 3,680 feet within the dense forest terrain of the Catskill Mountains natural preserve.
Samuel Rusk assisted Arnold Guyot during the first modern survey of the Catskill Mountains in the late nineteenth century, leading to the mountain's naming.
The mountain forms part of the Catskill 3500 Club peaks, requiring hikers to complete a trail-less bushwhack ascent to document their summit achievement.
Hikers access the mountain via Spruceton Trail Trailhead, crossing a bridge before navigating the bushwhack path toward the summit canister register.
The mountain harbors one of the few remaining untouched Eastern Hemlock tree stands documented within the entire Catskill Mountain range.
