This hike is a rarity in the Catskills. A hike to a beautiful overlook that doesn't involve a vigorous, 3-4 hour climb.

The blue blazed trail (Part of the Long Path) starts at the parking area on Platte Clove Road just east of The Bruderhoff.

The hike begins as a gentle climb up a heavily eroded woods road. After about 3/4 mile it reaches a junction with the yellow blazed Huckleberry Point trail. Turn right here. The trail is more pleasant here, as it's now a narrow path through the forest. It crosses a stream, then climbs a bit before descending towards Huckleberry Point. Here you will find outstanding views of the Hudson Valley to the east and Indian Head, Plattekill and Twin Mtns to the south. It's a great place to stop for lunch. Be sure to bring binoculars.
