Shawangunk Ridge Trail

The Shawangunk Ridge Trail was originally conceived as a relocation of the Long Path from Harriman State Park to Minnewaska State Park and envisioned following a portion of the AT in New York and New Jersey. Now part of the LP system, the SRT provides a backpack alternative to the Orange County route of the LP that has significant road walks and fewer camping opportunities. The SRT is co-aligned with the LP from Shin Hollow Road to the High Point Trail in Minnewaska State Park, and from there the SRT is co-aligned with various other trails through Minnewaska and Mohonk Preserve, until it reaches the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail.
