Stretching 52 miles along New York State Route 28, the Catskill Mountains Scenic Byway winds through the heart of the Catskills. Just two hours from New York City, this route takes you through charming villages with stunning views of mountains, waterways, and farmlands. It’s especially breathtaking during the fall, when the hills come alive with vibrant colours.
Highlights include the Ashokan Rail Trail, Ashokan Reservoir, Belleayre Mountain Gondola, Emerson Kaleidoscope, and the villages of Margaretville and Arkville. Don't miss a chance to climb the Upper Esopus Fire Tower for panoramic views.
The byway starts in either Andes or West Hurley and can be driven in either direction. If you're coming from New York City, West Hurley is your likely starting point. For travellers from the north or west, Andes is a great option. No matter which direction you drive, the route is designed so you won't miss any of the best stops or unique stories.
