Depot Hill Multiple Use Area (Mt. Egbert)
Depot Hill Multiple Use Area in Beekman offers a mile of climbing to Appalachian Trail views of the Hudson Highlands and Catskills, with a lean-to shelter.
Depot Hill Multiple Use Area covers 267 acres in the towns of Beekman and Pawling, in Dutchess County, and carries a stretch of the Appalachian Trail up and over Mount Egbert. From the parking area off Depot Hill Road, it's about a mile of steady climbing through hemlock stands and rocky outcrops to the 1,329-foot wooded summit. The Appalachian Trail marks the way with white blazes, though old woods roads and side paths branch off and can confuse your navigation, especially through the denser sections. Continue on to the rocky overlook just past the summit, then loop back to your car for a roughly three-mile circuit.
