Sam's Point
Sam's Point Preserve is a 4,600-acre preserve in Ulster County on the highest point of the Shawangunk Ridge. The name derives from a story that a man named Sam, pursued by Indians, jumped off the cliff to avoid capture and miraculously survived the drop with the trees breaking his fall. Roads throughout the preserve were built as fire roads in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps.
