This is an little used route out of Ellenville in southeastern New York that shares its first 1.7 miles with Mt. Meenagha Road, another NY State Top 10. The roadway is minimally travelled and the climb is very quiet. We are surrounded by forest the entire ride, so there are no distant views along the way.

Roadway: The first 4/10ths of the climb are on Highway 52 which is in good condition with a shoulder up to the turn off onto Mt. Meenagah Road, which is in fair condition with no center stripe or shoulder. At mile 1.7 we stay right to ride the final three miles up to Sam's Point (first on S.

Traffic: Moderate for the first segment on Highway 52 and minimal after turning off the highway.
Parking: We parked on the side of Broadhead Street just past the climb start (Map; Street View).
Provisions: There are no places to get food or water on the ride, but there are plenty of spots in Ellenville where the climb begins.
