If hikes are your thing then the Lazy Mountain area is for you. Featuring quite a variety of trails, Lazy Mountain has trails for both the cautious and adventurous. The trail head for both the Morgan Horse Trail and Lazy Mountain Trail is in the same parking lot.

Like skiing? Lazy Mountain has ski trails. The Morgan Horse Trails are groomed in the winter and have trails for both the beginners and experience skiers. If you want a very easy hike the Morgan Horse Trail would be a good choice.

Don’t let the name fool you, the Lazy Mountain Trail isn’t a “lazy” trail”. The trail climbs up the 3,720 foot peak and is not at all easy. If you want an easier trail you can take the Lazy Moose Trail and climb from there. The Lazy Moose Trail is an easier switchback trail and ends up intercepting the Lazy Mountain Trail. Here are directions and a map of both the Lazy Mountain Trail and Morgan Horse Trail.
