The
Catskill Park is a
mountainous region of public and private lands in Ulster,
Greene, Delaware and Sullivan Counties - the "forest
preserve" counties. Ninety-eight peaks over 3,000 feet high
form an impressive skyline. Its blend of public and private
lands is typical of large parks in Europe, where people and
unique lands have coexisted for centuries.
The Catskill
Forest Preserve is the state land within the Catskill Park.
Since its creation in 1885, it has grown from 34,000 to
almost 300,000 acres. |
