Background
The Orange County Land Trust has entered into a one-year option agreement with the landowner to purchase over 300 acres of forest, agricultural land, and rocky summit comprising Sugar Loaf Mountain.
The Sugar Loaf Mountain property, which abuts Goosepond Mountain State Park in Chester, NY and the Highlands Trail, is of great importance to the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation, & Historic Preservation (OPRHP).
Within 3-5 years of acquiring the property, OCLT hopes to transfer the land to OPRHP as an extraordinary, new addition to Goosepond Mountain State Park.
