I was skeptical at first. The road isn’t the greatest, and getting there was a little tricky on the streets of the old town, but the views were incredible . If you do the fort, don’t miss the mountain.

Thank you for your visit and review! Although a steep drive up the mountain, it certainly is worth the breathtaking birds-eye-view!

Wonderful place to visit. The views are amazing and you can see Fort Ticonderoga from the top of Mount Defiance, also pet friendly.

Basically drove up the mountain to the summit. Views are great from the top and there is a pavilion with picnic benches to enjoy the view. There was a guide discussing the battle on top.

It’s a bit part of visiting Fort Ticondera. It takes 15 minutes, after the visit, but the view is worth it. Don't miss it.

The colors were amazing, but getting there was a sketchy experience. Road construction re-routed us and driving to the mountain felt like a deliverance road trip. Once we arrived, a small unmanned set of barricade arms prevented you from going any further unless you had a coin (which we did) and then a small winding drive up to the top. It was not maintained and showed it's age, but offered a nice view of the fort once you can get your bearings. It took about 5 minutes to do this and back down you went; nothing exciting to see here folks.

We have been going to Mount Defiance every time we're in Ticonderoga for decades. It used to be FREE. Now it is $10 It is a historic site that figured during the American revolutionary war. It is a basic look out that overlooks Ft. Ticonderoga and the southern end of Lake Champlain. It is a great place to have lunch (bring your own) There is a covered area with picnic tables. It is a steep drive up to the top. On a nice day it is a great place to spend part of a day.

Mount Defiance sits 700 feet above Fort Ticonderoga with commanding views of the Fort and Lake Champlain, but was deemed inaccessible and never fortified. The British did use this position to reign bombs down at the Fort a mile away driving the Colonists out once in 1777.
The steep drive up the mountain is worth it and the views of the lake valley and 2 states in sensational.

We first visited Fort Ticonderoga and got a token to go up to the top of Mt. Defiance, without the token the cost is $10 (which seems a little much). The drive up is a steep road with a small parking area at the top. The view down to the fort and the surrounding area is excellent and the history is quite interesting. We spent about 20 mat the top, which seemed like enough time. There are some picnic tables at the top.

Getting there from the Fort was a bit confusing because of serious road construction. Google did not route us around it so if you are crunched for time, leave 10 minutes earlier just to be safe. We got to the gate 5 minutes before closing time but were able to enjoy some impressive views.

We happened to be the first car to go up on a Thursday summer morning, so I can’t tell you how crowded or not the place gets. The roadway up is two-way, winding, and fairly steep in parts, so proceed with caution. It splits as you get near the top so that you have one-way going into the parking lot there and one-way coming out of it. The parking lot is unpaved, and hence spaces are not marked. From there it is another 100-foot or so walk up to the very top of the mountain.
At the top there are two cannons (they point towards Fort Ticonderoga, if you have trouble finding it), a flagpole, some wooden picnic tables, a covered pavilion, and a fenced-off building (weather station?). When we went there were no seats or benches, so plan accordingly. There is a large rock surrounding the flagpole, however, and it could easily serve as a place to sit.
The view is absolutely beautiful. To the left is Fort Ticonderoga. In front of you is the southern end of Lake Champlain, and on the other side of it is Vermont. There are trees, rolling hills, grasslands, and mountains everywhere. There are several farms on the Vermont side, which are distinguished by their silos. To the far right you can see a boat marina. In the fall the view must be nothing short of heavenly.
Helpful Things to Know:
1. You can hike up to the top, which many people apparently do. There is a small, unpaved area (like a turn-out) on Defiance Street near the main gate. It can accommodate 7 or 8 cars.
2. If you’re going up by car, there is a $10 fee which you can pay at the gate via credit card. If you have been to Fort Ticonderoga, your general admission ticket includes free admission to Mt. Defiance via a token that will open the entrance gate.
3. If you want a good picture of Fort Ticonderoga, make sure your camera has a zoom function.
4. In the summer months the area around the pavilion gets hot because much of it is exposed to the sun. There are only a few trees that provide some shade.
5. On the left side of the pavilion there is a ramp made from stone that leads into the pavilion. In theory, at least, the pavilion is wheelchair accessible. However, a lot of the surrounding ground is bare and gravel-strewn, and there is not a smooth and level transition from the ground to the ramp. My guess would be, therefore, that handicap access would be somewhat challenging, though not impossible.
6. There is a garbage can in the pavilion for trash disposal.
7. If you plan on staying for any length of time, you may want to bring folding chairs with you.
8. The drive to the top of the mountain takes about five minutes from Montcalm Avenue at Champlain Avenue. The route is shown on the paperwork you get at Fort Ticonderoga.
9. On the way down the mountain from our visit, there were two cars racing like fools to the top. This was very irresponsible and dangerous on their part. Please proceed up and down the mountain carefully.
If you are in the area for some of the local attractions, don’t pass up the opportunity to see Mt. Defiance, especially if you have gone to Fort Ticonderoga, since your admission is included.

Has anyone done the hike to the top? If so we would like details, length, terrain, incline etc. I enjoy hiking, but we are in our 60's and no the best shape we could be in! Thank you!

It is very walkable. The inclines are steep but not too steep. Since you're taking your time you can always stop and rest. At least you're not pushing a cannon up the mountain like they did during the Revolutionary War.
