Tips from locals
52 Spruce Mtn Rd. Porters Corners NY The trail to the Spruce Mountain fire tower is 1.4 miles long, which includes 0.3 miles on the conservation easement corridor. The first 0.8 miles of trail are on Forest Preserve. The trail then crosses the lands of Saratoga P.L.A.N. and Lyme Timberlands via a cooperative agreement and then back to a small piece of Forest Preserve on which the fire tower sits. The public has access to the tower most of the year, excluding big game hunting season, which opens around the third week in October and runs through early December (actual dates vary annually). The summit of Spruce Mountain is forested, which requires a climb up the tower for a view.
