Highest standing waterfall in New York. This is now a common swimming area. Since a New York Times article came out it gets tons of traffic. There is a section called Fawn's Leap where people can dive and swim. Views are amazing.

This is a beautiful lighthouse in a great location. You don’t see the lighthouse from the car park so it’s a lovely surprise when it appears

It was great to be out on the river on a beautiful day. The narration was interesting. There is so much history in the Hudson Valley. The tour should mention Rhinecliff which is right on the river and visible for much of the trip

The whole experience was wonderful. The location in the Catskills is amazing. The resort was quiet despite having hundreds of families visiting. The food was very good - there is something for everyone. The swimming area is fabulous and refreshing and so clean, and the hiking, is great. Highly recommend.

The Ashokan reservoir, in West Shokan N.Y. is not to be missed. There are parking lots where you can hike from. All flat and paved with amazing views on the reservoir, the mountains, and bald eagles. Great for bikes, roller blades, kids, etc. less than 30 minutes from Kingston or Woodstock.

This is a treasure in the Hudson Valley of New York. You can actually ride all the way across the river on the Walkway Over The Hudson to Highland. It's a great ride with numerous scenic views. It's also a great walking or jogging trail. It's very family friendly and the vibe is always good.

Favorite place to get apples and apple cider donuts in Esopus! Picked up some doughnuts, locally grown apples, romaine lettuce. Their produce was very fresh and delicious. It's so important to buy local produce especially during when it's in season.

The neat thing about Partition is that- it's actually an all-in-one type place with enough space than you'd imagine. The patio really looks like an adult playground where you can catch a live band, play some games, hobnob, sip, or just lounge- under the stars.

This place is great!! I had fish tacos and the nachos for an app and was in heaven!! Really nice staff, really cozy ambiance especially for the winter, and I shook hands with the chef (because the food was awesome!) and you just know some people love what they're doing and it shows.

The food was outstanding, and the service was top notch. There's a beautiful view from inside and outside, but the back deck right on the water (you can feed your bread to the fish) was amazing now that spring is finally here.

It is very beautiful and historic, with some remaining buildings dating back to pre-Revolutionary war era. There is a lot to learn and you can find a tour guide who will take you on a walking tour. There are a good handful of excellent restaurants to choose from.

HIKING IN THE CATSKILLS MOUNTAINS
It’s not about the journey with this one: It’s about the destination. You’ll walk uphill along a gravel road with power lines the entire way -- not quite the bucolic getaway you traveled all the way from the city for. But you’ll hit the first cool landmark after about 2 miles -- the ruins of an old hotel from the area’s heyday as a resort destination ). A climbable fire tower (which you should definitely scale) is a half mile further. Follow the trail a little bit longer for a jaw-dropping cliff edge view of the Catskill Mountains and Hudson Valley. Told you it was worth it.

Anywhere in the Catskills is amazing, you will find waterfalls and streams and great hiking wherever you go. Kaaterskill Falls is our favorite place to hike up and see the waterfalls, absolute breathtaking views. Woodstock and Phoenicia are a short ride and are great towns to visit with wonderful places to eat.

A fairly moderate hike . The views from Giant Ledge were awesome but not so much so from Panther . Overall was a great workout . We were glad we went early as we were able to enjoy the views peacefully . There was quite a number of people we met on our way down making the ascent . I would come back for the Giant ledge views . I guess some of the best in Catskills !

Esopus Bend is a wonderful conservation area brimming with birds, butterflies, and flora and faunna. It's free and the trails are well-maintained and can be walked easily. Their have been eagle sightings. The Preserve offers ample chances to visit with a knowledgeable guide, so that's another option to learn more around the natural area. The walks take you to an opening with a magnificent view of the Catskill Mountains and the upper Esopus Creek.

Artist Rock, Sunset Rock, Newman's Ledge. you have to pay $10 to enter the campgrounds but it was well worth it. that campgrounds has a bunch of different trails and sadly we only had time for one. this trail is gorgeous right from the beginning. it was like eye candy for the people that really appreciate the trail as much as the scenic spots. since this trail has great woods, rock formations and vistas we took it slow to enjoy every step
