Overlook Mountain Fire Tower
Join our outdoor leaders, Bill and Todd, for the fifth installment of our Catskills Fire Tower Series.
Join our outdoor leaders, Bill and Todd, for one of the most scenic fire towers in the Catskills! This will be a 4.41 mile out-and-back hike up a scenic forested mountain-side along a wide carriage path. Once at t he top, you'll be greeted with an awe inspiring 360 degree view of the Catskills, as well as a bonus cliff-side panoramic view of the Hudson River Valley!
Initiated in 2019 and organized by the DEC, the Catskills Fire Tower Challenge rewards hikers for visiting all six of the Catskill fire towers in one calendar year. Complete the challenge with us and get the commemorative patch! Check out the challenge rules here. Missed hiking a tower with us? Worry not!
