Catskill Mountain Scenic Byway (NY-28 / NY-214)
The 52-mile Catskill Mountain Scenic Byway follows New York State Route 28 through the Central Catskills from Kingston west through Woodstock, Phoenicia, Shandaken, and Big Indian. Just past Phoenicia, NY-214 branches north through Stony Clove Notch — a narrow, heavily forested mountain pass between Hunter and Plateau Mountains — connecting to the Great Northern Catskills at Hunter. The corridor passes the Phoenicia Diner, the Catskill Center, and multiple trailheads into the Catskill High Peaks. NY-28 is a designated New York State Scenic Byway.
