Max V. Shaul State Park consists of 30 quiet, peaceful campsites as well as boating access along the Schoharie Creek, a brand new playground, a baseball field, and many hiking trails like the Toe Path. A huge pavilion is available for parties. All of this is within the 75 acre park, on the low south facing slopes of Toe Path Mountain in Schoharie County.
The park was named after Max V. Shaul, a prominent local farmer.
Small, but mature, patches of second growth forest are found within the park, the higher steep slopes (840 feet to 100 feet) contain Appalachian oak-hickory forest.
Though small, the features of this park contribute to the long-term biodiversity of the region.
When visiting Max V. Shaul, don't miss Mine Kill State Park, located just 10 miles south on Route 30 in North Blenheim, NY. Mine Kill boasts three swimming pools—an olympic-sized pool, dive tank and wading pool—all free and open to the public from the last weekend in June till Labor Day. Also, go boating on the Blenheim-Gilboa Reservoir, or hike on over 6 miles of trails with views of the Schoharie Valley and Mine Kill Falls, an 80 foot cascade through a narrow ravine for which the park is named.
Also visit John Burroughs Memorial Field Historic Site, located off State Route 30 in Roxbury, NY, and 25 miles from Max V. Shaul State Park. This site features "Boyhood Rock," the boulder that inspired one of the country's most famous naturalists of the 19th and 20th centuries. John Burroughs, the celebrated literary naturalist, wrote 27 books of nature and philosophical essays that influenced millions of readers.

A: According to the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, male deer usually produce their first set of antlers at one year of age. Antler size generally increases with age, although genetics, food quality and health play important roles as well. Bucks shed their antlers in the winter following the rut, or breeding season. The most ideal time to scavenge for shed antlers is usually when the last snow thaws and before leaves and underbrush bud in the spring.
