Mount Tremper Fire Tower Hike - Catskills Fire Tower Challenge
We climbed Mount Tremper via the Willow Trail and Warner Creek Trail. For the hike, the Willow Trail begins at the Willow Trailhead on Jessup Road. From the trailhead it’s 3.8 miles to the summit of Mount Tremper and the Mount Tremper Fire Tower. The first 1.6 miles follows the Willow Trail and then you join the Warner Creek Trail for the remaining 2.2 miles. At the summit of the mountain sits the Mount Tremper Fire Tower. The Mount Tremper Fire Tower is part of the Catskills Fire Tower Challenge and is open to the public at all times. We took our time to enjoy the view from the top, have some snacks and then headed back down the way we came.
This is a roughly 7.6 mile moderate hike with around 1900 feet of elevation gain along the way. This is solidly a moderate hike, though the length may make it more on the strenuous side of moderate for some. The only water along this route is the spring you’ll pass about 1.4 miles up the Willow Trail.
