The Town of Mamakating is located on the southeast end of Sullivan County and is the oldest township in the county. Site of the Delaware and Hudson Canal, Mamakating is a major gateway to Sullivan County. A popular area for outdoor recreation, this area is now becoming Metropolitan New York's newest bedroom community. The future county Welcome Center is planned for this area as well as several major developments. The community is business friendly and welcomes new enterprises and residents warmly.
Mamakating is nestled in the valley of the beautiful Shawangunk Mountain range that forms the bold ridge separating the Catskills from the Mid-Hudson valley. We take pride in our many beautiful lakes and streams and the short distance to enjoy the captivating Delaware River. While boasting the oldest soaring airport in the country and the hiking and cross-country skiing on the D&H Canal Trails, Mamakating offers rich history and environmental qualities in this beautiful and unique town.
