Catskill 100 Public Peaks
Created, compiled and researched by Margaret McGrath based on work by Mark Schaefer
Part of the allure and charm of hiking in the Catskills is that much of the park has no trails and is still in a "wild" state. Hiking the hills and valleys which must be bushwhacked is a thrill some cannot resist. The freedom that this allows is exhilarating. As long as private property rights are observed and hikers have a respect for the natural environment all is well.
Some people like to hike to complete lists and find this an added motivation. Many people have completed the Catskill 35 list and the Winter 35 list. For those people looking for a new challenge, Mark Schaefer created a list of the hundred highest peaks in the Catskills. This list contains many peaks on private property and that means hikers must contact the owners for permission. Now that more people are hiking, many owners are reluctant to give permission, Also, many hikers simply don't want to bother the land owners to obtain permission. This is why Margaret McGrath modified the list by removing peaks on private property and substituting other peaks on public land.
All of the peaks listed below are on public lands but hikers should be careful and plan an approach that is also on public land.
