Colgate Lake Reflections

August 31, 2024  •  Leave a Comment

Colgate Lake is a scenic 29-acre lake located in the 1,500 Colgate Lake Wild Forest in the town of East Jewett of the northern Catskills. The area around the lake provides panoramic views of the Blackhead Mountain Range, which includes Thomas Cole (3,950 feet), Black Dome (3,990 feet) and Blackhead (3,950 feet).

 

The lake is named after Robert Colgate, the 19th century owner of what is now the Colgate-Palmolive company. He owned thousands of acres in the East Kill Valley area, including the land in and around Colgate Lake. The property was purchased for $475,000 by the state of New York in 1975 from the Robert Colgate estate.

 

The lake is a popular location for fishing, kayaking, picnicking and primitive camping. The yellow marked Colgate Lake Trail travels 4 miles to Dutcher Notch and the Escarpment Trail in the Windham Blackhead Range Wilderness Area.
