About Rusk Mountain
Rusk Mountain requires a moderate bushwhack to reach its summit, which is marked with a canister. The preferred approach leaves the Spruceton Trail at a major bend. The mountain is sometimes climbed in conjunction with nearby Hunter Mountain.
History
Rusk Mountain was named after a local family. It remained a relatively obscure peak until the formation of the Catskill 3500 Club, which brought more attention to these lesser-known mountains by including them on their list of required climbs.
