Cragsmoor is a hamlet (and census-designated place) in Ulster County, New York, United States.
Cragsmoor is located atop the Shawangunk Ridge, in the south part of the Town of Wawarsing.
Cragsmoor, originally named Evansville, was founded as an art colony in 1879, after being discovered by artists earlier in the decade.
[7] According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 4.4 square miles (11 km2), all land.
The center of town is about 1,800 feet (550 m) above sea level, much higher than neighboring communities such as Ellenville and Walker Valley.
There are also many large undeveloped woodlots; thus, property values in Cragsmoor are higher than in the rest of Wawarsing.
The Long Path hiking trail passes through the center of town on its way to Sam's Point.
