Upper Esopus (Catskill Vistor Center)

This is not a real fire tower in the sense that is not atop of a mountain. It is located next to the Catskills Visitor Center. Access to the Fire Tower is available via the Interpretive Loop Trail. The Catskills Visitor Center building is open every day EXCEPT Tuesday from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The grounds are open to the public every day during daylight hours. Stop by on your way to the fire tower for latest park news, local maps and info, and more!

Trailhead:

The Catskills Visitor Center is at 5096 Route 28 in Mt. Tremper. To access the Fire Tower, take the Interpretive Loop Trail around the back of the building.
