Head to the green pristine Catskills for a cool summer
getaway! Within a two-hour drive of New York City,
discover serene forests, sparkling streams and one-of-a-kind
attractions. Experience the awesome natural beauty and
legendary hospitality that has attracted vacationers for
over 150 years.
Great outdoor adventures await you on thousands of acres
of forest preserve with high peaks, waterfalls and breathtaking views. You can swim and kayak in mountain lakes
and fish in some of the world’s best trout streams. Go tubing
and whitewater rafting or pitch a tent at scenic campgrounds like North-South Lake. The 19-mile Catskill Scenic
Trail is perfect for hiking, biking and horseback riding.
Stay at a family-friendly dude ranch or mountaintop resorts
like Windham and Hunter, featuring golf, adventure parks,
and festivals like Windham’s Mountain Bike World Cup
in June. Plattekill Bike Park’s lift-served trails thrill extreme
adventurers and beginners. Hunter Mountain boasts the
longest and highest zipline canopy tour in North America,
with magnificent views at 50 miles per hour!
You’ll find great ways to slow down, too. Take a relaxing
ride on the Catskill Mountain Railroad. Explore the Catskill
Fly Fishing Center on Willowemoc Creek, birthplace of
American fly fishing. The Upper Delaware Scenic Byway
and quiet country roads lead to charming villages, antique
shops and farmstands bursting with fresh produce.
Browse Woodstock’s friendly shops and historic Byrdcliffe
Arts and Crafts Colony. In Catskill visit Cedar Grove,
Thomas Cole’s 19th-century home. Hike amid the landscapes that inspired him along the newly-expanded
Hudson River School Art Trail.
Unique attractions include the world’s largest kaleidoscope at Mount Tremper and Bethel Woods Arts Center
& Museum, celebrating the fabulous Sixties on the site of
the 1969 Woodstock Music Festival. The open-air Belleayre
Mountain Music Festival presents top stars throughout
the season. Mountain Wings in Ellenville offers lessons
in hang-gliding. For a splashdown of fun, head to Zoom
Flume Water Park!
