Red Hill Mountain (Denning)
4 miles round trip to Red Hill Fire Tower + Swim at Peekamoose Blue Hole
The 60-foot Red Hill fire tower sits atop 2,980-foot Red Hill. It affords a panoramic view of the Catskill peaks to the west and north, and the Rondout Reservoir from behind Denman Mountain. The newly established blue-blazed trail traverses both city and State Forest Preserve lands through rocky outcroppings and hemlock-laden forests. The 1.4 miles of new trail intersects with the existing trail, leading up to the 60-foot tall Red Hill Fire Tower that was constructed in 1920. The parking lot can accommodate up to 10 cars.
