The Mamakating Local Development Corporation (MLDC), established in 2017, exists to positively and significantly impact the economy of the town of Mamakating, its citizenry and businesses, through encouraging ecotourism, the purchase of second homes, patronage of existing town businesses and facilities, and appreciation of local arts and crafts, while creating an environment for new business attraction and development that at once preserves the coveted rural nature, history, and ecological and human diversity of the area.

When planning to visit the Catskills, why not include Mamakating in your plans!

Explore the flora and fauna of the Basha Kill wetlands and Shawangunk Mountains while hiking your choice of our seven major trails, guiding your kayak or canoe through wildlife-rich lagoons, donning cross country skies, or even sailing in a glider from historic Wurtsboro Airfield.

From the trailheads in Wurtsboro you can enjoy the ambiance of quaint shops, multiple dining options, a summer farmers market – all while immersed in the history of the D&H Canal and O&W Railroad.
