Catskills, NY - Ashokan Quarry Trail

ABOUT THE PARK: 
Ashokan Quarry Trail - Catskill Mountain Club
Although not required for this hike, the trail register asks if you have a watershed permit.  It takes a minute to fill out the form and print out the free permit online so why not?  I always have a valid permit in my backpack just in case I do need it.
