Denning (Claryville, Sundown, Peekamoose)

Located deep inside Catskill Park, the best known hamlets of Claryville, Sundown and Peekamoose draw those seeking heavily wooded mountains and cool valley streams.

In Sundown Wild Forest, hikers head to Red Hill Tower, where they’re rewarded with panoramic views of the Catskills, Rondout Reservoir and Shawangunk Mountains. Awaiting visitors who love the great outdoors are hidden waterfalls — you’ll have to find them for yourself! — and a swimming hole that’s so special you need advance tickets to get in.

Find your bliss in the mountains that make this part of the county remote and special.
