About This Trail

A compact fire tower hike of about 3.4 miles round-trip in the western Catskills, climbing roughly 1,100 feet to a restored tower with broad ridgeline panoramas. The well-maintained trail makes a rewarding moderate outing. Views from the tower extend across the Catskill summits and reservoir valleys below.
