Swim the Catskills

Yes, its hot and humid, but here in the Catskills, we're surrounded by lakes, ponds and streams. Swimming is permitted in all bodies of water in the Catskill Forest Preserve, so get that suit on and get in there!!

The Future of the Catskill Interpretive Center

The Maurice D. Hinchey Catskill Interpretive Center (CIC) is a partnership between the Catskill Center and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC). Since opening in July 2015, the CIC has welcomed tens of thousands of visitors to the Catskill Park and region.

The result of decades of effort to develop a visitor center for the Catskill Park and the greater Catskills, the public-private partnership between the Catskill Center and New York State has allowed the CIC to flourish as the gateway to the region.
