"Been about 7 years since I hiked the TLT - was invited by my friendneighbor to go out on a nice day and it was certainly beautiful weather! Warmer than expected, and way more families and dogs on the trails than anticipated for a Wednesday, but everyone was polite and respectful and none of the three trails or summits felt too crowded. Larger parking area here than at Coney. I forgot in all the years it’s been that the first 0.75mi is a paved wheelchair accessible trail which is uncommon and very nice. It created a lovely tree tunnel. Following that, the trail meandered up and over the shoulder before circling to the summit, similar to Coney. Again, not much for mud or bugs, and a pleasant gradual gain. The summit here was smaller to share with others but we found a spot to sit and enjoy the view. Following this, headed to Arab.

"Doing the Tupper Lake Triad in the afternoon after driving up in the AM. Coney had the best view by far, Goodman much less but still nice and view from Arab is great once you climb to the fire tower cab. Lucked out with sunny skies and warm temps. for fall. " — Nimblefoot • Oct 6, 2021

"Day trip to Tupper Lake, NY. Goodman Mt. first then off to Coney Mt. where the views were amazing. We could see snow covered Marcy and Whiteface in the distance. Will do Arab another day to get Tupper Lake Triad complete!" — jasaru • Oct 19, 2019

"Absolutely incredible weather, day and company from the Brockville Hiking Club. The views on Coney we’re so beautiful, breathtaking really, I will return in the summer and fall to see the colours. Oh the sunset on the firetower in Arab mountain was stunning. Weather was good, a bit windy but the sun was shining the whole day" — Littlefoot • Feb 9, 2019

"4th Time up here, 4th time doing the Triad. 2 Summer and 2 Winter now. Today I hiked with members of the Brockville Hiking Club, and we had 5 new Triads, and 1 new Winter Triad." — HikingViking • Feb 9, 2019

"Goodman Mountain Mountain January 10th, 2019 12:20p We started at 11:18a today and are planning on hitting the entire Tupper Lake Triad. There is a lot of powder snow on the ground, up to my knees in some places. I am first so I am making the path for both Matt and myself to go up the mountain. We already have a good portion of the mountain under our belts and it seemed like we were going to be the only ones all day. We only stopped for a moment to catch our breath when another hiker came right up behind us and scared the living crap out of me. Was not expecting him. He definitely didn’t mean to scare us but my heart was racing after he said hello. 12:30p We are so close to the top and have walked about .3 miles with the guy we met before. He went on ahead while Matt and I took a second to drink some water. We can’t be far from the top because in the time it took me to write this he has already gone up and come back down past us. So time to continue on. 12:49p We have reached the summit! The guy before said that this was the worst view out of the three but this view is amazing. Looking out we can see quite a few of the mountains in the area including our second stop..." — devenmosher24 • Jan 10, 2019

"Took my daughter down to Tupper Lake to complete the regular Triad. She already has the Winter patch. Now she can add the regular one to her collection, on her Birthday too. Summit #3 for me." — HikingViking • Dec 9, 2017

"It was a great way to end the year! Figured we do the Tupper Lake Triad and earn our Winter patch! (Did this challenge in April 2016 plus we did Arab for the Firetower challenge)Deb and I enjoy these three mountains, short fun hikes and when all 3 are done in a day it is some great exercise! With a fresh couple of inches of snow and a good foot of the white stuff under that we had to break trail. We started on Coney first at 8am. Deb wore snow shoes I didn't, big mistake. The trail underneath the fresh snow was pretty packed but the fresh stuff made footing difficult to me. The weather was cold, snow was on and off all day but clouds were high so visibility was great. For 3 small peaks you get great views! We were about and down Coney by 9:15, put on my snow shoes for the rest of the trip and started on Goodman at 9:30 went up and down that by 10:45 and then road out to Arab, started that at 11:30 and was down at 12:50! Loved it! Found it better in the Winter! " — hbotc • Dec 31, 2016

"The last hike of the day and the finish to the Tupper Lake Triad Challenge. This was the longest of the day, but perhaps the easiest with the moderate grade. Now to grab some taller and longer hikes." — MarkEarle67 • May 23, 2016

"Solo. After hiking Coney, headed over here to bag #2 for the day. I must say this is the first time I have encountered a labelled wheelchair accessible trail, which I thought was kind of cool. Nice easy walk on the paved part of the trail, and no mud beyond that on the wooded trail to the summit. I do wish the summit had a 360 view, but the view I had was very pleasant. Another 30ish minutes to summit. Again, no bugs, but also not much of a breeze to help with the heat - boy was I sweating. Saw two other women on the summit, however they didn't so much as stop to take a photo before heading back down? Odd. " — kellieirene • May 12, 2016
