When people think New York, they think “concrete jungle”. Beautiful lakes with green backdrops are hardly ever associated with New York. Even New York natives aren’t very familiar with the Catskill Mountains, in fact many even travel away from New York seeking what can be found here. The Catskills are located approximately 100 miles from New York city in the state of New York.
The area offers many places to camp at, go horseback riding, wine tasting and much more. Below we highlight a few of the many activities the Catskills offer, for a full list visit their official tourism site.
