The Catskills are a mountainous region in New York that's more than 6,000 square miles and has over 35 peaks that are higher than 3,500 feet. It's located two hours north of Manhattan and is the setting for Dirty Dancing. The Catskills are part of New York's Forest Preserve, but about 60% of the land is privately owned.
