Tips from locals
Drive to this lovely view point, assessable to all right off the main road. And then choose to add a fun and easy hike through the mountains as well!
The Palmer Hill Trail features spectacular views for most of its 3.7 mile length. The trailhead is located just off Route 28 between Margaretville and Andes (2 miles from downtown Andes and 9 miles from Margaretville), with parking available at the existing scenic overlook site on Finkle Road.
Best view without having to climb a mountain! You can see many mountains in the Catskills from the parking area. The hike is lovely - mown paths through fields and an old orchard, as well as some forest and rock walls. Rolling hills, very different than most of the deeply wooded Catskill hikes.
