Description

Castle Point is arguably the best viewpoint in the Shawangunk Mountains, a world class climbing destination 10 miles west of New Paltz, NY. This ridge is home to miles of dramatic white cliffs and ledges, pristine "sky lakes," and small unusually shaped pine trees. From Castle Point you can see High Point State Park in New Jersey, the Catskills, Lake Awosting, Storm King Mountain, Breakneck Ridge and much of the Hudson River Valley.
