👻 Meet the Pepacton Phantom—your spirited hiking buddy!

With a leaf in his hat and a walking stick in hand, this friendly little phantom loves tagging along on Catskill hikes. He floats patiently through every uphill stretch, always stops for the view, and never asks, “Are we there yet?”

He knows all the best spots for great views of the reservoir. And what a view it is! About 15 miles long, Pepacton began supplying water in 1955 and is NYC’s largest reservoir by volume.

🛶 Prefer a paddle? Pepacton welcomes non-motorized kayaks, canoes, rowboats and sculls through the recreational boating program, generally May 1–October 31, sunrise to sunset. You’ll need a free DEP Access Permit, an approved steam-cleaned boat with a valid recreational boat tag, and a designated launch site.

Our little phantom’s favorite trail rule? Leave only footprints—which is easy for him since he doesn't have feet 😁

Find boating details, launch maps and local vendors at cwconline.org/boating.

👻 Haunted Bridge Edition!

👻 Haunted Bridge Edition!

Local legend says this historic covered bridge has a resident bride. In 1906, 19-year-old Mabel J. Tuttle mysteriously died on her wedding day. She was scheduled to be married at the church nearby but never made it down the aisle.

Some say she still takes a moonlit stroll across the bridge in ghostly bridal white.

Do you know of any other haunted West of Hudson Watershed spots?

Are you ready to carve your Jack-O-Lantern? You can hardly drive 2 miles in our wonderful watershed region without passing a roadside stand packed with pumpkins and other bounties of the fall season.

But the earliest jack-o’-lanterns weren’t pumpkins at all. In Ireland and Britain, people carved faces into turnips and other root vegetables, sometimes placing them near doors to ward off wandering spirits.

Use this map from to explore local farm stands and look for pumpkins—or perhaps a turnip. Better yet, hit the road and see where the day takes you! 🍂

This way to adventure! ➡️🌲

Ever follow a roadside sign to a Catskills trailhead or recreation spot? There’s a partnership behind those arrows.

Through a project launched in 2015, CWC matched a $50,000 NYS DEC grant to help complete the recreational wayfinding sign system in and around the Catskill Park.

The result? Approximately 350 sign assemblies pointing residents and visitors toward 101 recreational destinations—with essential installation support from NYS DOT, NYC DEP, county highway departments, and local governments.

Less time searching. More time exploring.

That’s .
