Catskill Mountains - Camping / Canoeing
 

Hi,

I just moved to northern Columbia county. I am looking for
suggestions/recommendations on where to go for some paddling and camping
(tent). In the past we have gone to the adirondacks, paddled out to setup
our camp, and then paddled whereever it was we were staying.


Thanks,
Neysa

There aren't a lot of options in the Catskills for canoe camping. The
navigable rivers largely pass through the built up areas.

Check out the Hudson River Water Trail Association. They have established a
trail on the Hudson River and have a guidebook that gives descriptions and
camping locations on the River. I've lived in Ulster County all my life and
have hiked and camped all over the Catskills. Most of the streams, like the
Esopus, are only navigable by canoes in the spring (white water). The
Delaware River also offers canoe/camping possibilities. There's nothing in
the Catskills that compare to the canoe trails in the Adirondacks (like the
one that goes from Old Forge to Tupper Lake or the Saranac's).
