North South Lake

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.

Sunrise Chicken Farm

In these barns, laid out so nicely along Cauterskill Road are thousands of chickens producing eggs for the commerical egg market. They really stick out as one views them from the Catskill Mountain House Ruins.

Mount Airy

And beyond it, Mount Marion. You can see how Route 32 cuts over Mount Airy, which isn't a mountain in the proper sense, but some bumps in the landscape, at least compared to the Catskills
