Catskill Park, Protected area in New York State, US
The Catskill Park spans 700,000 acres across Delaware, Greene, Sullivan, and Ulster counties, featuring mountains, forests, and numerous water reservoirs.
The state legislature established the Catskill Park in 1885 during negotiations regarding property taxes, leading to increased protection of regional forests and waterways.
Native American tribes, including Mahican and Esopus peoples, used these lands for hunting before European settlers introduced logging and bluestone quarrying activities.
Visitors can access over 300 miles of multi-use trails, state-operated campgrounds, and seasonal hunting areas throughout different sections of the park.
The New York City water system maintains 5 percent of the park territory to safeguard four major reservoirs that supply water to metropolitan areas.
