Saint Regis Mountain is a 2874-foot mountain at the center of the St. Regis Canoe Area in the town of Santa Clara.

It can be climbed from a trailhead on Keese Mills Road west of Paul Smiths, or from a trail that starts at a landing on Upper Saint Regis Lake just south of Camp Topridge, a Great Camp built by [Merriweather Post]. ¹ The view from the summit includes thirty lakes, including the Upper and Lower Saranac Lake, and Upper and Lower St. Regis Lake. ²

The summit is bare rock, having been cleared by a fire started accidentally by a surveying party led by Verplanck Colvin in 1876. There is a fire tower on the summit that was restored in 2016 and is now open to the public.
