New Catskill Park Trail Map Available
(Review copy available upon request.)
Lake George, N.Y. -- The Adirondack Mountain Club (ADK) has collaborated with National Geographic to create a Trails Illustrated Catskill Park outdoor recreation map. Completely waterproof, the map features detailed trail charts and mileages, state Wilderness and Wild Forest areas, fishing access points, GPS coordinates and much more for anyone interested in recreating in the 700,000-acre Catskill Park.
This is the sixth Trails Illustrated map produced in the collaboration between ADK and National Geographic Maps. The other five waterproof outdoor recreation maps cover the entire Adirondack Park.
The Catskill map is designed to be used with ADK’s guidebooks covering the region, including “Catskill Trails,” “Catskill Day Hikes for All Seasons” and the soon-to-be-released “The Catskill 67: A Hiker’s Guide to the Catskill 100 Highest Peaks Under 3500’.”
ADK’s Publications Director John Kettlewell said, “Trails Illustrated maps are not only the best full-color outdoor and hiking maps for their regions, but they also make fantastic driving maps with their great readability and rich information. Plus, the maps are designed to be used with today’s popular GPS navigation devices, making it easier than ever to find a trailhead or a campground. Everyone interested in outdoor recreation should have a full set of these.”
The large-format, folded, waterproof trail map retails for $11.95. ADK member price is $10.76. The map is widely available at bookstores, outdoor stores and at ADK stores in Lake George and Lake Placid. Quantity discounts are available for commercial customers. Call ADK at (800) 395-8080 or (518) 668-4447 (Mon.-Sat., 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m.) to place an order.
