Ashokan Reservoir
Catskill study
One of the upstate reservoirs that supply water to the City of New York, the Ashokan is a favorite of ours because of unobstructed views of the Catskills and the scenic bridge across the middle. There's also a great spillway, and fountains at the pumping plant.
Suggestions are welcome - just send me an
email.

The Ashokan reservoir spillway handles a lot of water after recent heavy rains. Tawna got this great shot of the man-made falls, and wheeling birds.
