  • Ashokan High Point Distance: 7.5 Miles Time: 5 ½ Hours Vertical Rise: 1,980 Feet
    Ashokan High Point Distance: 7.5 miles Time: 5 ½ hours Vertical rise: 1,980 feet The trail to Ashokan High Point's summit is an old settlement road that has been so well built that it requires little maintenance. The surface is hard-packed dirt and gravel, where few seedlings will hold. It has been so well drained in past years that erosion has caused little damage. Old stone walls and ditch construction protect it from the advancing forest. Only the overhanging boughs that occasionally you will duck under betray any need for trail maintenance, much of which is done by a few loyal hikers and the Boy Scouts. Because it is so little known, the trail also is quite clean. All things considered-it is a rare find in an era earmarked by overuse and exploitation. The trail to High Point shows on the NY-NJTC map as a dotted line, keyed as an unmarked trail. The map is accurate to a point. It shows the correct route to the summit, but omits some side trails that might cause confusion. Don't let the lack of marking deter you, however. The moderate-difficulty trail is self-guiding in its entirety, and it is hard to get lost if you pay attention to the map and text. Find the trailhead by turning south on NY 28A from NY 28 in Boiceville east of Phoenicia. Follow 28A for three miles to West Shokan. Here, Peekamoose Road (County Route 42) runs uphill along the Bush Kill. After 3.9 miles, you will see on the left a parking area.

  • FIRST DESCENTS in the CATSKILLS First Descents Conjure
    Vol. XXXIII, No. 1 JANUARY - MARCH, 2000 FIRST DESCENTS IN THE CATSKILLS First descents conjure up images of high-altitude mountaineering with all its challenges, hazards and hardships. How can there be first descents in the Catskills when all the peaks have been climbed and descended in all conceivable directions? First descents on skis? It's possible that a lot of the trails have been descended in this manner. But, descend from the summit by bushwhacking on skis and there's a good chance of achieving a first descent. A review of skiing history will help us understand how we can manage to ski trailless, steep, wooded terrain. Skiing is thousands of years old, but turning skis was not part of the game until the 1860s when Sondre Norheim of Norway figured out that if he had a twisted root cable going around the heel of his boot, he'd have more control of his destiny. He also invented turning techniques, such as the telemark (Nordic/downhill) and Christiana, to complement his equipment innovations. A whole new world opened to him because of his newly-acquired control. No longer restricted to flat terrain and ski jumps, he could venture into the hills and mountains. Others wanted to be part of this new sport with the result that there followed an explosion in ski, binding and boot design. Eventually, it was discovered that even greater control could be gained if the heel was locked to the ski. Norheim's free-heel telemark turn techniques fell into disuse. What remained of Nordic/downhill skiing was the classic cross-country skiing on flat or easy terrain familiar today, with steep terrain being descended with alpine (heel down) equipment.

  • Section 5: Risk Assessment - Flood
    SECTION 5: RISK ASSESSMENT - FLOOD SECTION 5: FLOOD RISK ASSESSMENT This section provides a profile and vulnerability assessment for the flood hazard in order to quantify the description, location, extent, history, probability, and impact of flood events in the Town of Shandaken. 5.1 HAZARD PROFILE This section provides profile information including description, location, extent, previous occurrences and losses and the probability of future occurrences. 5.1.1 Description Floods are one of the most common natural hazards in the U.S. They can develop slowly over a period of days or develop quickly, with disastrous effects that can be local (impacting a neighborhood or community) or regional (affecting entire river basins, coastlines and multiple counties or states) (Federal Emergency Management Agency [FEMA], 2010). Most communities in the U.S. have experienced some kind of flooding, after spring rains, heavy thunderstorms, coastal storms, or winter snow thaws (George Washington University, 2001). Floods are the most frequent and costly natural hazards in New York State in terms of human hardship and economic loss, particularly to communities that lie within flood prone areas or flood plains of a major water source. As defined in the NYS HMP, flooding is a general and temporary condition of partial or complete inundation on normally dry land from the following: Riverine flooding, including overflow from a river channel, flash floods, alluvial fan floods, dam- break floods and ice jam floods; Local drainage or high groundwater levels; Fluctuating lake levels; Coastal flooding; Coastal erosion (NYS HMP, 2011 – need proper reference) Unusual and rapid accumulation or runoff of surface waters from any source; Mudflows (or mudslides); Collapse or subsidence of land along the shore of a lake or similar body of water caused by erosion, waves or currents of water exceeding anticipated cyclical levels that result in a flood as defined above (Floodsmart.gov, 2012); Sea Level Rise; or Climate Change (USEPA, 2012).

The Plan includes management objectives for a five-year period and is hereby approved and adopted. PREFACE Article XIV of the New York State Constitution provides a basic guideline for management of the State's Forest Preserve lands in the Adirondacks and Catskills. Futhermore, the Environmental Conservation Law places responsibility for the care, custody and control of the Forest Preserve on the Department of Environmental Conservation. The Catskill Park state Land Master Plan establishes four classifications of State land: wilderness, wild forest, intensive use and administrative areas, each representing a different level of protection and public use. The Plan provides for establishment of geographic units, each falling into one of the four classifications. Unit management plans will be developed for each unit. A Unit Management Plan identifies a segment (unit) of this Forest Preserve and provides direction for the management and use of that Unit.

  • Local Hiking Trails Walking Paths Along Esopus Creek / Emerson Meadows Please Enjoy a Moment Taking in the Surrounding Nature
    Local Hiking Trails Walking Paths Along Esopus Creek / Emerson Meadows Please enjoy a moment taking in the surrounding nature. We have a small viewing pond and there is a path along the Mt. Pleasant Road berm from which to watch the Esopus Creek. There are a few paths from the berm down to the creek for exploring. You can follow the road down to the corner where it ends at an overlook of the confluence of the Little Beaverkill and Esopus Creeks. Our property also features many acres of rolling meadows for hiking and exploring. The Woodland Trail, starting near Ralph’s Café’s outdoor patio, leads to the Brookside Wander, our protected native plant environment, then passes through an old pine grove on its way to our sporting fields. Esopus Creek Maurice Hinchey Catskill Visitor’s Center The Visitor Center provides stewardship and information about the Catskill Mountains. There is a sculpture art park and they have many displays for regional education, history, and conservation. Inside you can see an impressive 3D projected topographic model of our Catskill Mountains. Venturing outside of the Center, check out the newly restored 80 foot fire tower. The cab (very top of the tower) is typically open and staffed on weekends Memorial Day through Columbus Day. You will also find a short series of simple trails. There is also a short network of well-maintained walking paths through the sur- rounding woods, including two loop trails – The Old Field Trail and the Winnie Farm History Trail. Both are flat and easy to walk.
