Greenville Detached Forest Preserve 🗺️
About Greenville Detached Forest Preserve ....
Most people when they think of the Catskill Forest Preserve don't think of the Town of Greenville as having any of the Catskill Mountains in it. But the state owns a small, dedicated forest preserve parcel off of Hillcrest Road and Spring Valley Roads in Greenville/New Baltimore. As a kid I used to ride my bicycle out that way, past the heavily wooded Forest Preserve, although there isn't a great deal to say about it -- it's hardly unique.
