Catskill Mountain Routes
Winding and sedate, the mountain roads — with views that stretch for miles to distant vanishing points — make the Catskills so special.
The Minnewaska: A ‘Gunks Ride
Wide-open views of the Shawangunk valley, stunted pines clinging to cliffsides, pristine lakes and gently rising carriageways combine for the most spectacular ride in the collection.
The Ashokan: A Catskills Ride
Climb High Point Mountain Road, briefly; then enjoy a mostly-downhill roll through the foothills, all while surrounded by the Catskill Mountains. This 13-mile ride is lovely in autumn.
Mohonk Preserve E-Bike Route
A magnificent ride through the jewel of the Shawangunk Mountains: The Mohonk Preserve. With tempting carriageways, rocky cliffs, whimsical gazebos perched at the edge of shimmering Mohonk Lake, this ride is all about quiet beauty and vivid landscapes.
The Vernooy Kill: A Southern Catskills Ride
A rushing stream with intermittent waterfalls follows the early part of this loop ride in Kerhonkson, in the Southern Catskills. Then the woods give way to farmland and grazing cattle.
