There are a number of local, professional guides throughout the Catskill Mountain region who can be hired to lead outdoor adventures for large groups, families or even solo outings. To become a professional guide in New York State, individuals must obtain activity specific certifications by  taking classes/trainings as determined by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Guides can be hired for hunting, backpacking, hiking, fishing, ice climbing, rock climbing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, boating, and even pack horse trips. The best place to look for professional guides in New York is through the New York State Outdoor Guide Association (NYSOGA). Detailed information on NYSOGA can be found on their website:  www.nysoga.org.
