Elka Park, New York Real Estate is special. Elka Park is a quiet little world unto itself in the Catskill Mountains. Encapsulated by three beautiful and wild waterways, Cook Brook, Schoharie Creek and Roaring Kill, and at the foot of Devil’s Path, Elka Park NY is renowned - an 1,100-acre gated “cooperative community” listed on the National Register of Historic Places. If you own a home in the Elka Park community, you’re entitled to dine at the club and take part in its activities as well as avail yourself of the swimming pool, tennis courts, hiking trails and streams. The name Elka Park is used for both this private community and the hamlet around it (formerly called Platte Clove). 

Elka Park NY & Tannersville NY are both part of the Town of Hunter NY. They both offer small town living mountain style. There’s a Tops market for grocery shopping and a Village Hardware store, along with some restaurants, ski shops, antique emporiums and libraries. 

For avid outdoor adventurers, one of the most famous hikes on the east coast starts in Elka Park. Devil's Path is a 28.1 mile trek that crosses FIVE peaks off the Catskills 3500 club list; Indian Head Mountain, Twin Mountain, Sugarloaf Mountain, Plateau Mountain, and West Kill Mountain. Other outdoor activities available in and around Elka Park include skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, ice-fishing, snowmobiling, biking, camping, fishing, golf and swimming at, among other sites, Dibbles Quarry, an abandoned 19^th-century quarry in the middle of the woods overlooking a valley vista, and Rip Van Winkle Lake, just south of Route 23. 

Hunter is home to the Catskill Mountain Foundation, a rich local resource that's home to arts programs in film, residencies, performance and education. The foundation runs the Orpheum Film & Performing Arts Center, Doctorow Center for the Arts, the Piano Performance Museum and the Sugar Maples Center for Creative Arts as well as a "multi-cultural gifts store," the Kaaterskill Shoppe, and a Natural Agriculture farm.
