Hough Peak (/ˈhʌf/) is a mountain in the Dix Range of the Adirondacks in the U.S. state of New York.

The mountain is located in the High Peaks Wilderness Area,[5] in the town of North Hudson in Essex County.

It is named for Franklin B. Hough, an early Adirondack conservationist and forester.

The earliest recorded ascent of the mountain was made on August 31, 1921, by brothers Bob and George Marshall and their friend Herbert Clark.

[10] Objections were also made to naming peaks after living persons in the Adirondack Mountain Club, although these came primarily from anti-Semitic members who did not want the name of the Jewish Marshall family attached to a mountain.
