The Catskills - Hiking the Southern Escarpment Trail Loop - April 4, 2021
The roughly 24 mile long Escarpment Trail is located in the northeastern Catskills. It runs from Schutt Road near North-South Lake State Campground in the south to Route 23 in Windham in the north.
Thanks to the Escarpment Trail intersecting with a number of trails along its way, it is possible to utilize the trail to make several different loops. In this case, we focused on the southern third of the trail and began at the South Lake Dam.
From the South Lake Dam, we followed the yellow trail down to the intersection with the Escarpment Trail. From there, we followed the Escarpment Trail past Layman’s Monument, Sunset Rock, Inspiration Point, Boulder Rock, the Catskill Mountain House site, Artists Rock, Lookout Rock, Sunset Rock (yes, there’s two) and ended our trip on the Escarpment Trail at North Point high above North-South Lake.
From North Point we came back down the Escarpment Trail and then followed the Mary’s Glen Trail back to the roads within the North-South Lake State Campground (which is closed this time of the year) and walked back along the shoreline of the lake to our car.
