REGION — The New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has a new digital map to help the public find properties that are open for fishing, hiking and other types of outdoor recreation. The digital map, which provides information on properties owned by New York City and New York State, is now available on DEP’s website by visiting www.nyc.gov/dep/recreation.

The map also features icons for fishing access and boat launch areas on City reservoirs. The 10 hiking trails that have been developed on DEP lands, with significant help from nonprofit partners, are also delineated on the map.

Users can click each City-owned parcel to see more information, including the name of the recreation unit, its location by county and road, the types of recreational uses that are allowed and the state’s wildlife management unit designation for each parcel.

The recreation mapping tool currently includes a total 131,944 acres of City-owned land and water east of the Hudson River in Dutchess, Putnam and Westchester counties, and in Delaware, Greene, Schoharie, Sullivan and Ulster counties in the Catskills.

DEP will participate in several public gatherings this summer to demonstrate the new mapping tool: on June 23 at Morgan Outdoors in Livingston Manor, NY at 7 p.m; and June 29 at Time and the Valleys Museum in Grahamsville, NY at 10:30 a.m.
