Overlook Mountain
Overlook Mountain is the most south mountain in the Catskill region. It is a 5 mile out and back moderate-difficult hiking, with relative steep climbing on the gravel road, which leads to the fire tower at the top of the mountain.
Parking is easy to find by following the google map direction.
You can climb the fire tower to have an amazing view of the surrounding mountains and Ashokan Reservoir (the largest water supply to NYC). Before reaching the tower, there is a ruin of a big hotel, initially built in 1830s in the industrial age. The hotel changed hands and burnt many times, but the foundations are still impressive.
