Hiking West Access Trail

The western approach to Squak Mountain provides great access to a number of loop trails around the upper reaches of Squak Mountain, including direct access to the East Side Trail and May Valley Loop Trail from the Squak Mountain State Park Trailhead.

Parking here is very limited, so consider parking at the Wilderness Peak Connector Trailhead 100 yards up the road.
