note: the actual crater, unfortunately, is buried ~1,000 feet beneath the mountain -the impact occurred around 380 million yrs ago and has long since been buried by sediments that washed off a long ago eroded away alpine-like mountain range which once stood where the Taconic Parkway is today-etl
Google Maps: Panther Mountain Crater in Upstate NY:
(it's the circular feature to the upper left of the two small bodies of water (one is the Asokan Reservoir) To further help identify it on the Google map, it has a little white 'route-28' sign along its northern 'rim'(the actual rim is buried ~1,000 ft below).
