A Bucket List of Summer Things to Do in the Catskills

Our family-friendly Catskills resort sits on the Catskill Mountains Scenic Byway, which means adventure is right around the corner. There are countless things to do; whether you’re visiting for a week or weekend, you won’t have any trouble filling your days with fun.

• Get an inside look at how farmers put food on our tables by visiting one of the local farms or markets. Places like the Phoenicia Farmers Market or Zena Farmstead are great places to buy fresh produce and other goodies.
• Treat yourself to something sweet from a nearby bakery. Overlook Bakery in Woodstock is an excellent option for those looking for something vegan, while Peace, Love & Cupcakes is the home of everything decadent.
• Give yourself plenty of time to explore the Ashokan Rail Trail. This 11.5-mile trail is home to some of the best hiking and birding in the state. Be sure to stop by the front desk for a copy of our award-winning Birding at the Ashokan Rail Trail guide to bring with you.
• For a unique way to explore the stunning scenery, check out Rail Explorers. Ride along the rails that run alongside Esopus Creek. Our guests receive a discount on this experience. Call 845-688-2828, option 0, to book your experience.
