Sugarloaf Mountain is a 900-foot (270 m) peak located in the town of Fishkill near the Hudson River and Breakneck Ridge.
It can be climbed via the Wilkinson Memorial Trail, which has its western trailhead a mile (1.6 km) from the summit on New York State Route 9D along the Hudson River, opposite the Breakneck Ridge station on Metro-North Railroad's Hudson Line.
The trail climbs gently at first but then steeply as it approaches the summit plateau.
At either end there are panoramic views over the river's Newburgh Bay, surrounding mountains and nearby communities.
