A Guide to Family Fun on Property and nearby Emerson Resort

There is plenty to do and see right on Emerson Resort’s property, including the World’s Largest Kaleidoscope, nature paths, and The Shops at Emerson. Guided walks and fun activities like making your own Mason Jar Terrarium or Fairy Door to take home or leave in the Emerson’s Fairy Woods are also available select days and times.  It’s easy to sign up under the Experiences tab on the Emerson’s website.  Most activities are complimentary to overnight guests, and day trippers or locals are also invited to join in the fun for a small fee.  Don’t forget to end your night making s’mores around the fire with one of the kits available for purchase. 

While there is plenty of fun to be had right on site, one of the best parts of vacation is exploring a new destination. Make memories with the family as you explore activities and attractions in and around Mount Tremper. 

  • Hike along the Ashokan Rail Trail, an almost 12-mile trail that runs along the Ashokan Reservoir. This stunning trail system is made even more beautiful when fall colors take over the trees. 
  • Explore the railroad like never before with Rail Explorers. Work together to move the pedal-powered bikes down a portion of the historic Ulster and Delaware Railroad along Esopus Creek. 
  • Discover the amazing work of Emile Brunel at Brunel Sculpture Garden. You’ll see Brunel’s work built between 1929 and 1941 as you wander around the park grounds. 
  • Belleayre Mountain is filled with a variety of activities, no matter the season. In winter, enjoy skiing, snowshoeing, or snowboarding. The summer months bring fantastic hiking and mountain biking trails. 
  • Take in the Hudson Valley shoreline on a trip with Hudson River Cruises. As you cruise the waterway on the Rip Van Winkle II, take in the sights like waterfront mansions, historic Hudson River lighthouses, and more. 
  • Wander the 178-acres of public gardens, Northeastern U.S native plant displays, and majestic trees that makeup Mountain Top Arboretum. This public garden in Catskill Mountain is a great way to soak in the sunshine while exploring a top Upstate New York attraction.
