Swimming, Hiking
There are secluded swimming holes, mountain vistas, lakes, and access to the many creeks in the area. We can assist you once you have booked. It is best to checkout a hiking guidebook (alltrails.com) for the best destinations. Parking is limited, so get to the trails early if you want a parking spot on weekends. Be careful, many trails are challenging, and people have been severely hurt in the area. The trails listed below are pretty safe.
Beautiful alpine lakes with 2 sand beaches, boat rental and access to hiking. Take the short quarter mile hike to the site of the Catskill Mountain House for incredible vistas.

Moderate to advanced 2 mile hike to Dimond Notch Falls. This trail starts in Lanesville if you don't want to drive all the way to West Kill. This is a 1,300ft vertical so you need to be in shape. About 1/2 mile in the trail turns to a rock scramble that crosses the brook. keep an eye on the other side for the trail markers.
