South Dix is a 4,060-foot Adirondack High Peak in the Dix Range near North Hudson, New York, ranked 37th among the region’s highest summits and connected by ridge to Grace Peak, Hough Peak, and Macomb Mountain. The name honoring former governor John A. Dix first appeared in print in 1921, and the earliest recorded ascent was made in 1913 by Samuel R. Lockwood. The peak is now being renamed Carson Peak for Russell M.L. Carson, whose writing helped popularize the Adirondack High Peaks. It is typically reached on a rugged Dix Range traverse using unmarked routes, with seasonal access limits tied to private land, hunting season closures, and winter road shutdowns.
