The Shawangunk Ridge stretches over 50 miles in a southwest to northeast direction from Port Jervis to Rosendale. The ridge and slopes contain over 150,000 acres spread across 16 towns in three counties. Continuing south, the ridge becomes the Kittatinny Mountains in New Jersey and then part of the chain of Appalachian Mountains all the way down to Georgia.
