Come join us for a fun filled weekend of,camping, paddling, hiking and geocaching. This year's picnic will be held only on Saturday but many of us will be camping for the weekend. You can come for a couple hours have some fun and meet a few new friends. Or you can come for a couple of days have some fun and meet a whole bunch of new friends. Either way you will go away with some great memories and many new friendships. We have reserved the new pavilion at North lake for the day so this event will be held rain or shine.
North-South Lake Campground is the biggest and most popular state campground in the Catskill Forest Preserve, offering extraordinary scenic beauty, and historical sites, such as: Alligator Rock, Kaaterskill Falls, and the former site of the Catskill Mountain House. An abrupt change in elevation occurs from about 540 feet above sea level at the base of the escarpment to approximately 2,250 feet at the site of the former Catskill Mountain House. The provinces around the lakes have long provided visitors with exceptional views of the surrounding countryside. It is said that on a clear day, five states can be viewed from the escarpment.
This is a Potluck only Picnic.
We need people to bring a food item to share and whatever you would like to drink. There is electricity at the pavilion for those wishing to bring a hot dish.
Pets: Pets are allowed with proof of current/valid rabies vacination. Campers can walk a dog on a leash no longer than 6 feet as long as the dog is under control. Dogs can not be left unattended. Campers are responsible for cleaning up after your pet. Pets are not allowed in day use areas, beaches, pavilions or any structures.
