Catskill Mountains Scenic Byway

The CMSB follows the Esopus Creek, which originates on the flanks of the Catskills highest peak (4200-foot Slide Mountain), and the East Branch of the Delaware River. Both are fabled trout fishing streams. A ride on 28 offers pristine mountain views and access to the wildlands of the Catskill Forest Preserve. The route traverses much of the Catskill Park, a tapestry of public and private lands, and passes Belleayre Mountain Ski Center at the boundary of Ulster and Delaware Counties. A stunning panorama of numerous peaks awaits the traveler atop Palmer Hill (the highest point of elevation on the byway) in the Andes near the Byways western end.

Another side jaunt features Route 42 along Bushnellsville Creek in rugged Lexington.
