Facts and practical information

Ashokan High Point is a 3,061 feet summit in the Catskill Mountains of New York. The Kanape Brook Trail that leads up to it was formerly used as a wagon track between Samsonville and Watson Hollow in the days of the Catskills tanneries. High Point is the loftiest part of a massif that includes the adjacent Mombaccus Mountain, Little Rocky and South Mountain. It was also known as "Samson", and is so identified on a 1942 United States Coast and Geodetic Survey benchmark at the summit. Nowadays, Samson Mountain is the name given to a nearby peak above the upper reaches of Rondout Creek. ()
