North-South Lake
North-South Lake is the biggest and most popular state campground in the Catskill Forest Preserve, offering extraordinary scenic beauty, and historical sites, such as: Alligator Rock, Kaaterskill Falls, and the former site of the Catskill Mountain House.

Hiking: The campground offers access to numerous hiking trails. The short hike to the site of the Catskill Mountain House provides the reward of incredible vistas.

Kaaterskill Falls lies outside the campground and is reached by a trail beginning on Route 23A. The two tiered falls of 250 and 260 feet is the highest in New York State.
