Designated by the Blue Line, the Catskill Park, includes 1,102 miČ of land and water in 4 counties.
Established in 1904, these public lands will always be "forever wild", and can never be developed.
There was once 23 towers in the Catskill region (9 in the Catskill Park) and only five fire towers are still standing within the Blue Line. Until recently, all had been closed to the public.
