This map of the Minnewaska State Park Preserve Peter’s Kill Area says it all!

Minnewaska Mountain Retreat property shown in RED.  

Peterskill Rock Climbing Area only a few minutes walk from 'School Master House' at Minnewaska Mountain Retreat, is one of many recreational opportunities to enjoy nearby.  Visitors to the area can enjoy hiking, swimming, trail biking, equitreking, canoeing and kayaking.  After a fun-filled day in The Shawangunk (pronounced Shon-gum) Mountains, head to High Falls, New Paltz, Woodstock and other country villages for excellent dining, fine wine -- many local -- and craft brews.  A lifetime of fun and relaxation await you!

At the crest of the Shawangunk Mountains above the Hudson Valley in Upstate New York, lies one of the finest equestrian trail systems in the United States: approximately 80 miles of carriage ways designed in the late 1800’s for horse-drawn vehicles and horseback riding. The trails were originally part of the Lake Minnewaska and Lake Mohonk Resorts; the system is now operated by the 7,000 acre Mohonk Preserve and the 23,000 acre Minnewaska State Park Preserve.  Both areas are open to the public for a modest daily or annual fee and horseback riders are welcome.  The two Preserves are linked by a single, relatively level carriageway that passes through an historic hamlet once known as Trapps Village.

The property has direct access to 80 miles of carriage ways winding through the Minnewaska and Mohonk Preserves for horseback riding, hiking and trail biking.
