MONGAUP POND

Important information

CAMPGROUND SPECIFIC INFORMATION Please leave your trailered boats home. Many don't realize unwanted plants and other organisms can be moved by their boats. You could spread pests to Mongaup Pond and in turn infect the Catskill Hatchery 1.9 miles downstream. If the hatchery became infected, undesirable organisms could spread to waters being stocked throughout southeastern NY or even statewide. If you bring any type of boat, be sure it has been completely dry for several days before you arrive and can be hand launched. We are also prohibiting bait fish use to eliminate other possible means of infection. For more information, go to www.ProtectYourWaters.net . WHEN YOU ARRIVE: You must sign for your own site.
