HIKE FOR THE CATSKILLS: HUCKLEBERRY POINT HIKE

  • Huckleberry Point Trailhead 2425 Platte Clove Road Elka Park, NY, 12427 United States (map)

Join our Catskill Steward, Rory, for a hike to Huckleberry Point.

Huckleberry Point is a moderate 4.5-mile out-and-back hike that starts within Platte Clove. The point features breathtaking views of Plattekill Mountain & the Hudson Valley with multiple scenic biome changes along the way up to the lookout. We’ll stop multiple times along the way to admire the water features, shifts in flora, and any interesting animals we come across. Following the hike, we’ll make a quick detour down to Devil’s Kitchen for a spectacular view of Bridal Veil Falls and the Platte Clove Valley. Be sure to bring a snack, plenty of water, bug spray, and sunscreen. Meet at the Huckleberry Point trailhead at 9 am.
