Nature
Windham High Peak, in Greene County within the Catskill Mountains and Catskill Park, stands out for a drainage pattern that sends water from different slopes into separate tributary systems before all eventually reach the Hudson River or New York Bay. Its summit forms a trijunction where these divides meet, a point that until at least 1629 marked the traditional boundary tripoint of Mohawk, Mohican, and Delaware territory. The mountain is also tied to long-distance hiking, as the Long Path is contiguous with the Escarpment Trail in this part of the Catskills. It remains a notable destination within the protected Catskill High Peaks landscape.
