BACKGROUND:
We've been hiking to the Elm Ridge Lean-To for about twenty years for camping, hiking and just generally enjoying the outdoors. Over the years, we have seen many beautiful and amazing sites in and around this location.
TERRAIN AND DISTANCE:
Located in Catskill State Park at the Elm Ridge Lean-To.
Moderate Hike.
From the PECK ROAD PARKING AREA - MAPLECREST: 1.1 miles up a gentle but rocky and sometimes wet trail (wear good hiking boots). Make sure to bring some water (there is a spring located about 2/3 up for PECK ROAD) and a warm layer in the spring and fall (conditions can change quickly).
From the RTE 23 PARKING AREA - EAST WINDHAM: 1.16 miles up the ESCARPMENT TRAIL with a very steep climb within the first 1/4 of the trail (once past the meadow not as rocky or wet)
ONCE AT THE LEAN-TO:
Stand at the back of the lean-to, facing a "clearing". From the lean-to, take 40 adult steps into the clearing. To your right you will see a white tree stump, about 2.5 feet tall.
From the stump, with the lean-to behind you, turn LEFT and take 25 adult steps toward the edge of the clearing. To your right is a grouping of rocks - walk to them. At the edge of the rock grouping, look for a tree that splits into two at its base. At the base of this tree is a pile of rocks, under which you will find Lizards At The Lean-To.
