About Sam's Point

The Northern Shawangunks Mountains form a unique landscape of extraordinary ecological significance. It has been designated as one of our "Last Great Places" and a priority site for landscape-scale conservation. Sam's Point Preserve contains one of the best examples of a ridge top dwarf pine barrens in the world, providing spectacular views of the Catskill Mountains, Verkeerderkill Falls, and caves that shelter snow and ice well into the summer
