SOLO Camping at Echo Lake Catskills New York

Successfully solo camped at Echo Lake in the New York Catskills Mountain Region. What a beautiful lake with an amazing campsite. You can check this place out by visiting the Platte Clove Reserve (Overlook Trailhead) and hiking in about 6-7 miles to the lake. It’s a pretty straight forward trail as you follow the blue blazes all the way to the lake itself.

I’m lazy, I’m kind of "bushcrafting" but hopefully I’m not stupid.

    Nice to see you getting out into this wonderfully peaceful area. The camp looked to be really idyllic. The forest looked a delight to wander through. Lovely images.

    Curious, do you carry bear spray in the Catskills? Is it needed? What's your opinion?

    I don’t. I think it doesn’t hurt to carry it. As long as you’re not sleeping with your food, you’ll be ok statistically.

    If you check out AllTrails, the trailhead has a small parking lot you can park at. It’s over by Platte Clove Preserve.
