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.
