Where the Catskills Bloom Wild
At 2,400 feet above sea level, Mountain Top Arboretum offers a quieter way to experience the Great Northern Catskills. Spanning 200 acres, this living landscape blends curated gardens with untamed mountain habitat—meadows, wetlands, spruce groves, native woodlands, and boardwalk trails that invite visitors to slow down and wander.
Easy walking paths connect visitors to seasonal wildflowers, reflective ponds, native plant collections, and dramatic Devonian bedrock shaped over millions of years. Every season reveals something different: spring wildflowers and migratory birds, lush summer gardens, brilliant fall foliage, and peaceful winter trails perfect for snowshoeing.
Throughout the grounds, visitors will find spaces designed for both education and inspiration, from the Woodland Walk and West Meadow to Bird Cove, wetlands, and quiet forest trails.
Families can explore self-guided walks and interactive learning opportunities, while gardeners and nature enthusiasts can dive deeper through seasonal workshops, birding walks, forest bathing experiences, lectures, plant sales, and events held throughout the year.
Located just minutes from the villages of Tannersville and Hunter, Mountain Top Arboretum makes an ideal stop during a Catskills getaway—especially for travelers seeking scenic beauty beyond the overlook.
