The Catskills have been a go-to for New Yorkers since the 1800’s and continue to be a place for local getaways and outdoor adventure. To get a sense of the area we spoke with Jeff Vincent, owner and lead guide of Catskill Mountain Wild. Along with being a licensed New York State guide, Jeff has hiked the entirety of the Appalachian Trail (from Georgia to Maine) and is a 3500 club<\/a> member.<\/p>\n

We’ll start with the big question – what’s so special about The Great Northern Catskills?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This area of the Catskills has everything from views to trails to waterfalls. They’re constantly adding new things like mountain bike trails and the fishing is great. The Great Northern Catskills<\/a> (Greene County) has more miles of trails and more peaks than any other county in the Catskills. Plus, the Long Path goes through here which, means you could get here from NYC by foot (though it would take about three weeks).<\/p>\n
