Blackhead, Mountain summit in Greene County, New York, US
Blackhead Mountain rises to 3,940 feet with steep rock formations and dense forest covering its slopes in the northern Catskill Mountains.
The mountain received protection status in the early 1800s when local surveyors documented its natural features and initiated conservation measures.
The mountain forms part of the Catskill Park system, connecting with the Long Path trail that extends 350 miles from New York City to Albany.
The primary hiking trail spans 5 miles round trip, requiring sturdy footwear and water supplies due to the challenging terrain and elevation gain.
Three separate watersheds originate from Blackhead Mountain, feeding into East Kill, Batavia Kill, and Trout Brook before reaching the Hudson River.
