"North-South Lake is the biggest and most popular state campground in the Catskill Forest Preserve, offering extraordinary scenic beauty, and historical sites, such as: Alligator Rock, Kaaterskill Falls, and the former site of the Catskill Mountain House. An abrupt change in elevation occurs from about 540 feet above sea level at the base of the escarpment to approximately 2,250 feet at the site of the former Catskill Mountain House. The provinces around the lakes have long provided visitors with exceptional views of the surrounding countryside. It is said that on a clear day, five states can be viewed from the escarpment. Within the facility you can go: boating, fishing, hiking, swimming, picnicking, and much more!"
North-South Lake Information
My Adventure:
ONLY $8 for a full day of play! North-South Lake is my favorite place to enjoy a good mountain bike adventure. The aggressive ride of the blue trail is great for a good workout as well as beautiful views of the Catskill Mountains. On days I decide to bring my dog with me, North-South Lake is pet friendly and you can see dozens of dogs on any given day. North-South Lake has over 10 miles of good hiking trails, after over a dozen trips I still have not conquered the whole mountain. After a great day of outdoor physical activity the beautiful lake is the best place to end up. There are two beaches to enjoy the water either swimming or renting a non-motorized boat. I encourage you to Adventure NY upstate and what North-South Lake has to offer.
