Sugarloaf Knob is a well-known summit within Ohiopyle State Park on the south end of the Laurel Ridge. This mountain has a unique profile and can easily be recognized at different lookouts in the park and surrounding area. The Youghiogheny River cuts beneath the "knob" and Laurel Hill creating a convert|1700|ft|m|adj=on deep chasm. The highest peak in the area is the south end of the Laurel Hill Ridge as it reaches convert|2920|ft|m|0 above sea level.

Sugarloaf Knob is easily accessible by a park road which takes you to just below the summit. A short bushwhack from there will get you to the top of the mountain.
