Catskill Park Map (National Geographic Trails Illustrated Map, 755)

I love this map series. They are my go-to maps for backpacking. They show campsites and shelters, which you usually have to scour the internet for. It shows trails and the distances--as well as the quality of the trail to some degree; for example, a black trail is well-maintained. A grey trail is THERE, technically, but isn't maintained by the park and might be obscure. I do wish the maps marked clear water sources (with, of course, the caveat that packers should always call the park to check on said source). Parking is clearly marked and if the portion of the part costs money to enter. It shows rock climbing areas. It shoes fishing areas.These are also waterproof. I'm glad I keep it with me when I hike; I've run into a few hikers here and there who are turned around and I can show them where they are and where to go. The map is so clear that, literally, in about 30 seconds, the hiker knows what direction to go and some marks to look for (like a lean-to or lake). I also use this map to start researching a trip. I just put out the map and look at the distances and presence of water or whatever. If you see an area, for example, with A LOT of parking, that area is probably more congested than you want. I'd recommend this map to anyone of any hiking level.

Waterproof (it rained A LOT), and relatively sturdy. Minus one star because some distances were ~0.5 miles off. Not as bad as the signs, but when you're dying after a long day of hiking and the map says you should have been there by now you may get a little hangry

Great map! Only reason I give it a 4 is because some trials I know to be there are not shown on map. Otherwise great product and well worth the money!

Not regular paper it doesn’t tear super smooth and nice

Great map . Is amidst complete my Catskills 3.500 hood quality and waterproof

Good quality print, but it's huge, less details than on NY-NJ conf. 6 maps set. 6 maps set is more convenient and more detailed 😉

I'm totally satisfied with this trail map of the Catskills region and plan to use it later this year. This is the second Nat. Geographic map I've purchased; the first being the Lake George region. It gives important trail iinfo... one-way distances, trail-head parking, vertical. I would not go without it.

I have the five map set for the Adirondacks and find them to be high quality and accurate. This is the newest addition to their series and covers all of the Catskill Park. Although I haven't used it in the field yet I have looked at it extensively and find it to be of the same high quality as the Adirondack series and easy to use.
