    Overlook Mountain in Woodstock is popular with hikers who climb a 2.4-mile trail to the fire tower on its summit. From the tower, people can see a panoramic view of mountains, the Hudson River and New York City reservoirs.

    Under the state’s updated access plan , people with disabilities could drive to the fire tower with a special permit. The plan also calls for more than 30 new parking spaces and some new trails.

    The department says Overlook is one of the most-visited locations in the Catskills.
