Lower Wolfjaw Mountain

Lower Wolfjaw Mountain reaches an elevation of 4,175 feet, featuring steep trails through dense forest and exposed rock formations along its northeastern ridge.

The mountain became part of New York State's conservation efforts in the late 19th century, establishing protected wilderness areas within the Adirondack region.

The mountain forms part of the Adirondack 46ers challenge, where hikers aim to climb all major peaks above 4,000 feet in the region.

The 11-mile round trip trail begins at St. Huberts Trailhead near Ausable Club, requiring sturdy footwear and sufficient water for the 3,555-foot elevation gain.

The mountain's irregular ridge line creates a geographical formation that resembles the shape of a wolf's lower jaw, inspiring its distinctive name.
