Welcome to the Catskill Mountain Club! The CMC is an association of outdoors-people who love to hike, camp, fish, hunt, canoe, kayak, bike, climb and otherwise enjoy nature and non-motorized outdoor recreational pursuits in the Catskill Mountains. We could think of no better time to kick-off this new club than in 2004, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Catskill Park!

The Catskill Mountain Club is a grassroots association of outdoors-people that promotes safe, responsible outdoor recreation and seeks to enhance public awareness and appreciation of our natural and human recreational resources.

Our interest is in the entire Catskill region, not just the Catskill Park or the high peaks - we encourage people to explore diverse areas of the Catskill Park and Forest Preserve, as well as other public lands in the greater Catskill region, such as our State Forests, Wildlife Management Areas, Special Use Areas, Unique Areas, and NY City Watershed Lands.

By encouraging volunteerism and conducting a variety of volunteer activities, our Club and its members assist with the stewardship of trails and other recreational resources, and help to develop new trails and improvements in the Catskills where appropriate. We promote and increase outdoor recreation opportunities for all ability levels, including people with disabilities and families with children, and serve as an educational resource for the people who use our precious public lands.
