Huckleberry Point
Huckleberry Point Trail is a 2.25 mile walk, one way. It’s not posted at the trailhead, but you can locate it on the map. Take the blue blazed trail (part of the Long Path) from the parking area on Platte Clove Rd. After about 3/4 mile it reaches a junction with the yellow blazed Huckleberry Point trail. Follow the yellow blaze. The trail will lead you down a narrow path through the forest, across a shallow stream and to the beautiful overlook known as Huckleberry point. Here you will find outstanding views of the Hudson Valley to the east, Hunter Mt to the west and Indian Head, Plattekill and Twin Mtns to the south.
Parking for the trailhead is off of Platte Clove Road. N 42 08.031; W 074 04.912
NOTE: The section of road between the trailhead parking and West Saugerties is closed in the winter so you will have to approach this from the west during the winter months. In winter, take Route 214. Make a left on Bloomer Rd. Bear left onto Platte Clove Rd. Parking area will be on left.
You will be looking for an ammo can. Follow the yellow blazed trail a very short distance past the cache site, to reach the overlook.
