There is not much for trails there- it would mostly be on-road with stops at waterfalls, etc. The Ashokan is owned by NYC's Department of Environmental Protection and they may require an access permit to use the rally point AND are in the process of removing old railroad tracks to make a rail-trail and if they are still working in the area of the rally point, it will be inaccessible. It depends on whether or not they are still working on 4/21. From the DEP website:
- Ashokan Northern Shore Temporary Closures (Multiple Recreational Units): Ashokan Reservoir, Town of Hurley and Olive, Ulster County. Closures will be in effect for recreation units located along the northern shoreline of the Ashokan Reservoir for Phase 1 of the Ashokan Rail Trail construction. The recreation units impacted by the closure include the Bushkill, Sand Hill, Ashokan North, Glenford, and the Ashokan Fishing Access Area. DEP expects to reopen the lands early in the spring. While closed, all recreational access on these parcels is prohibited
I will keep an eye on the project and see if they are still in the area as the date approaches. The good news is there is a very good alternate rally point on the south side of the reservoir and it does not require an access permit. I will keep you informed
