Minnewaska State Preserve

Minnewaska State Preserve - Ellenville Alive

Minnewaska State Park Preserve was once the site of two mountaintop hotels.  Many of the scenic trails and historic carriageways wind their way around two “sky lakes.”  Lake Minnewaska and Lake Awosting are the centerpieces of the park preserve, from which most other scenic attractions can be reached.  These lakes are well known for the exceptional clarity of their water and their aquamarine color.  Both lakes are set into white conglomerate cliffs and encircled with carriageways that provide ready access to many views.
