Olana State Historic Site

New York

About

Olana State Historic Site is a 501-acre park in New York, managed by the state park agency and located about 1.6 miles from the town of Catskill. It is a state historic site rather than a single trail, so plan on exploring the grounds rather than tackling a set route. Late spring and early fall tend to be the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show September highs around 75°F with lows near 54°F, and May highs in the mid-70s with lows around 49°F. Several trails start close by. The Hudson Valley Greenway Trail (Olana to Hudson) is half a mile away, and the Hudson River Skywalk is just 0.6 miles off. Farther afield, climbers can head to Cedar Park Cemetery, about 3.3 miles away, and paddlers can reach the Hudson River Greenway Water Trail, about 8 miles away.
