Me and my husband visited Minnewaska State Park Preserve the end of July on a very hot day.... and what a great decision to visit!! We got there around 11:00 am and there were already some vehicles waiting to enter. I do recommend getting there early; the park opens at 9:00 am, the fee is $10. We were told the wait to enter the park was going to be 45 minutes, but we got lucky didn't even wait 30 minutes. There's different trails depending on how many miles you wish to walk, but if you're not a hiker, you can take advance of the refreshing lake waters; there's a nice beach area. This is a must visit during the summer!! The views are so amazing!! Please don't miss out on the beauty of mother nature, get active and keep socially distant during this time. Enjoy!!!

This is my second drive thru the area this month. Well worth it. Very scenic with a number of stops along the way including Roebling's Delaware Aquaduct, Skimmer's Falls and other historic sites like the Corwin Farm to explore. Also several walking paths along what used to be the D & H Canal. The ranger at the Corwin Farm was very helpful with other things to see along the way.

Available to view Mon - Thurs by appointment. Please call the gallery. At over 3,000 square feet, DM Weil Gallery may be one of the largest modern art galleries in New York's Hudson Valley. Just a short drive from the center of picturesque New Paltz, DM Weil Gallery offers the look and vibe of an exclusive Soho style exhibition space, but with the majestic Shawangunk mountains as a backdrop. The eye-popping abstract creations of acclaimed painter DM Weil -- has been praised by critics and collectors alike, the gallery's mission statement remains, "Why Can't Fine Art Be Fun?".

Do not miss DM Weil gallery if you are in the New Paltz area! Donna's art is absolutely stunning--vibrant, colorful, joyful, radiating light. Donna works on premises and it is so special to hear her talk about her wonderful art on display. Donna, Sammy, and Ken are so sweet and welcoming, as well as incredibly knowledgeable with regards to both the art and the many printing services they do in house. This was a wonderful place to spend the afternoon, not to mention I picked up the most unique hand-painted overalls!

Renovated art deco theater showing professional productions of contemporary plays & musicals.
Reviewed By Sstepp - Poughkeepsie, United States
I go to Shadowlands once a season as a guest of a season ticket holder. Every single performance I've seen there (about nine in total) has been professionally put together with talented performers. Theater-goers have revitalized Ellenville and several delicious, family-owned restaurants can be found in the vicinity of the theater, making for a special visit every time I've gone.

We went here the last weekend in October. The weather was supposed to be meh but it turned out quite nice and Sam's Point was pretty crowded. The park opens at 9, but you need to get here not much later than 9:45 a.m. or you will not get a parking space ($10), and they don't allow shoulder parking on the access road. Trailhead has three toilets and there is always a line. There is a water bottle fill station and a visitor's center that offers a pretty useless map. It's okay because the trails are well marked. The morning started out cold but warmed up. Dress in layers and bring a hat and sunglasses because the trail to Verkeerder Kill Falls is along an exposed ridgeline and you'll get lots of sun along with great views of the valley. We did Sam's Point and the Verkeerder Kill Falls trail (in and out-did not do Ice Caves or High Point). It took us about 4 hours round trip, including a rest and a snack at the falls. We are kind of slow. This is a carry-in-carry-out park. There are no restroom facilities once you get on the trails. The park closes at 6. The Verkeerder Kill Falls trail has nice variety; there are some very rocky sections but you also walk through an oak grove and the view at the falls themselves is wonderful. I brought poles and found them helpful. Hiking boots (not sneakers) are a must because of the rocks. In late Oct. we had no problem with bugs. It's about 600 ft. elevation variatons to the falls and back up again. The walk up to Sam's Point itself is a paved access road and it's kind of boring. The fun starts when you get on the Verkeerder Kill Falls trail.

Estate grown and bottled winery. Family owned with 5 varieties of wine offered. We have a 44 acre farm with vineyard and mountain views.

We have thoroughly enjoyed their Friday night music events this 2020 summer! They brought in a different food vendor and live music act each week to enjoy while sitting outside on their gorgeous property. We brought our children age 8 + 10 and they enjoyed the game of corn hole set up. Their Appleoosa wine was so unique - had to buy a bottle for home! Would def recommend attending an event or just weekend wine tasting!

Today you can stay on the abandoned property and explore what remains. You have two options for your visit. You can spend a night under the stars at one of our private upscale campsites. Or you can stay at our boutique inn, The Old Catskill Game Farm Inn. Our property boasts 200+ mountainside acres, 3.5 miles of the original paved walkways and over 100 buildings of the old animal shelters are still in tact for you to explore.

Booked The Long Neck Inn with a group of friends and had a wonderful time. It was a unique experience to stay at an old zoo turned hotel. The service was excellent. We enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit and walking our dog (a few rooms are pet friendly) on the property.

My Mother (71), my Grandmother (92), my Daughter (15) and I (43), wanted to Celebrate my Birthday in a fun and different way while staying local, because my Grandmother has a difficult time sitting in the car for a long time. Normally my Daughter and I are Broadway bound for special occasions so we weren't anticipating much more than some nice family time together. However, we were all SOOOO PLEASANTLY SURPRISED by the caliber of acting, choice of Plays and the extremely comfortable intimate venue that we felt equally as entertained and pleased as if we had made one of our NYC trips to an actual Broadway Show... and all for such a reasonable price and the ease of it being practically right in our own "back yard". The performance had us literally crying, laughing, holding our breath and warming our hearts as if we ourselves were in the "experience". And then, to top it off, we walked over across the parking lot and enjoyed a delicious and eloquent meal at this charming little restaurant with outdoor tables looking over the picturesque mountains. Although, it was too chilly to utilize the outdoor dining, we found the inside just as quaint yet contemporary as one of our favorite City Eateries. We were all so pleased (and surprised at the Theater's comfortable seating for my 92 year old Grandmother to enjoy the entire show without any back complaints that usually come up), that we decided to make it a monthly tradition. We all STRONGLY RECOMMEND everyone to come and experience for yourselves what we believe is now one of New Paltz's and the Hudson Valley's Local Treasures!
