Catskillmountaineer.com Forum

Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forum. I'm taking my family on our first hike. We are coming into the area on Monday afternoon, staying in the Windham area and I'm a little overwhelmed with the amount of information and I'm a better learner when doing than reading. I will be able to digest better once I get in the area and a map, but want something planned before I get there.

With that said, I would greatly appreciate input/suggestions on a few short, safe and scenic hike suggestions.

From what I read Kaaterskill and North/South Lake Region look near each other, so I'm going to post is both forums.

Thank you
Jim

Hiking Windham High Peak from Route 23 might be a good hike. It is a fairly easy hike. About 6 miles round trip.

North-South Lake is also good. Lots of trails there. Just make sure you have a map. Lots of trails. Fairly easy walking.

Kaaterskill High Peak is a difficult hike. But, Huckleberry Point is an excellent hike. Easy hike. About 5 miles round trip. Can never go wrong with that hike. Great views at the end.
