Hike to North Point from North-South Lake – Saturday, June 4th, 2022 – 10 AM
Hello CMC hikers!
This is one of my favorite hikes in the Catskills. It’s a “greatest hits” of well-known viewpoints and attractions, such as Artists Rock, Sunset Rock, Newmans Ledge, Badmans Cave, North Point, Ashley Falls, and more.
The hike is a loop of 5.15 miles total, with 1,100 feet of ascent. Most of the hike is easy-moderate with several small sections of moderate+ steepness and rockiness. This is a great hike for beginners looking to explore trail hiking without lots of elevation or technical sections, all while seeing some fantastic views and Catskill attractions. We will hike to North Point (the halfway point) to have lunch, then head back down a different route to the parking lot.
