The last hamlet at the western edge of the Ashokan Reservoir, is a delight to homeowners who favor skiing during the winter and hiking, fishing, and other water sports in the summer. As a result of its natural resources, West Shokan is a community of year-round residents and a perfect location for the large number of second-homeowners who live there. As with much of the Town of Olive, the considerable quantity of city- and state-owned land ensures many landowners will find their privacy guaranteed by preservation-designated land. This designation prevents a changing view and supports a host of opportunities for outdoor activities. Despite its respite from the bustle of daily life, this enchanting community is only about 30 minutes from the New York State Thruway exit at Kingston, New York, down Route 28.
