Slide Mountain Wilderness Area, Protected wilderness area in Ulster County, New York, United States.
The 47,500-acre Slide Mountain Wilderness Area contains ten peaks of the Catskills, including the highest summit at 4,180 feet elevation.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation established this protected region in 1985 as part of the Forest Preserve management plan.
The mountain trails and natural environment of Slide Mountain influenced naturalist John Burroughs to write numerous essays about nature exploration.
Visitors access the wilderness through ten designated parking areas, connecting to 35 miles of marked foot trails and 24 primitive camping sites.
The upper valley of the East Branch Neversink River represents the single completely undeveloped valley system in the entire Catskill region.
