The Overlook Tower reaches 60 feet in height, and offers incredible views of the Hudson River Valley, Ashokan Reservoir, and Devil's Path and is located within Overlook Mountain Wild Forest. However, the tower itself is much older as it was originally constructed in 1927 on Gallis Hill, just west of Kingston. This is the newest of the five towers remaining in the Catskill Park, having been at its present location since 1950. For complete rules, read here.Ĭompleted? Congratulations!
