Ashokan Reservoir(Catskills)

Blue skies and temperatures in the mid to upper 40's were enough to inspire many folks to get out for an afternoon stroll along the Ashokan Reservoir today.  This is a popular spot for a peaceful stroll, a bike ride, roller skating or maybe even a jog.  I saw all of these today.

I headed north from the west parking area, passing by the outlet of the Reservoir, where the Esopus Creek emerges far below.

Ashokan High Point rising to the southwest.

Ticetonyk Mountain to the north.

The Burroughs Range to the west.

A closer look at Ashokan High Point.

I was pressed for time so I decided to turn around just shy of the weir.  One last view on my way back.
