The summit of Table Top Mountain can be reached on an unmarked trail, which branches off from the Van Hoevenberg Trail 4.4 miles (7.1 km) from the Adirondack Loj and 50 yards (46 m) from an intersection with a ski trail. The unmarked trail continues up the mountain for 0.5 miles (0.80 km). From an observation point near the summit, limited views of Mt. Marcy and other nearby peaks are available.[5]
