Schunnemunk Mountain is located in Orange County, New York, and from its summit (1,664 feet), hikers can see spectacular views of the Hudson River, the Catskill Mountains and, if the weather is kind, even the New York City skyline. The mountain contains more than 25 miles of marked trails, all of which are privately owned.

Although hiking is permitted, visitors are asked to please respect the private owners by staying on the marked trails and respecting signs posted in the area. Schunnemunk has forests as well as rocky outcrops near the top of the ridge. These upper areas are very exposed and can get very windy. Camping on Schunnemunk is allowed only with a permit, but the nearby Harriman State Park has campsites available to the public.
