With thousands of acres of forever wild land, Ulster County is a primary destination for hikers seeking to bathe in the beauty of the pristine vistas of an untouched landscape. From easy walks to a difficult trek, there are more than 350 miles of trails within the Catskill Park, the majority of which are located within Ulster County. At 4,200’ elevation, Slide Mountain is the highest in the Catskills. But you don’t have to take a major hike to enjoy the wilderness. You can meander along a stream or slowly make you way up to a fire tower and view the world much as it was hundreds of years ago.
The hikes listed here are but a sampling of trails that you and your family can do while visiting Ulster County.
