	Catskill State Park - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In contrast to the Adirondack Park, the Catskill Park does not include all the land generally considered to be part of the Catskill Range.
		An era dominated by hotels such as the Catskill Mountain House at North-South Lake which catered to the well-to-do and socially prominent was passing its prime, and in its place outdoor recreationists were becoming interested in dry-fly fishing the trout streams, hunting and hiking the mountains.
		However, the trails built by the state rapidly fell into disuse, Raymond H. Torrey would note by the end of the decade as what hikers there were tended to bypass the Catskills, which they regarded as passé, in favor of the Adirondacks and higher peaks in northern New England.

		The Adirondack State Park, also known as the Adirondack Park is a large state park in northeast New York.

		The park was given state constitutional protection in 1894, so that the state-owned lands within its bounds would be protected forever ("forever wild").
