I'm headed to this area with a friend in a few weeks and was wondering if there were any legal trails that I could hit in the area? Even Greenlaning is fine, it doesn't have to be gnarly.

I had downloaded this weird fancy app that's supposed to show trails in the area.. there is not much upstate according to this.

The Catskills is a tough area to find off road trails because of the "Wilderness" designation. There is a lot of great hiking in the area though.
Hunter ski area used to offer paid excursions on the west side of the mountain -- unsure if they still do. You might also want to check out Windham ski area.

Buy a NY Atlas & Gazetteer . There are dirt roads in the area and depending on how adventurous (or nefarious?) you feel plenty of power line trails. I know the area pretty well but its been a minute since I've been up there and with regularity. What town are you going to be in specifically?

Having lived in the area, Pine Bush, there is really very limited trails. We found a few and some were pretty decent yet that was in 2011.
