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.

Stopped by for apple picking before heading to Pine Ridge Dude Ranch - friendly and knowledgable owner, picturesque location, great selection of apples - so many varieties, colors and delicious flavors...they have grapes too. An overall enjoyable experience. Look forward to visiting again!

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!

Reviewed By ericamY9753SJ
This can be considered a difficult hike but I will venture to say it is not. There is constant sustained elevation gain that does knock the wind out of you, but its up an old roadway so the terrain is easy. This goes on for a bit over two miles with nothing to see. Stop and rest and have some water and it will be "easy", there are no rock scrambles or rough passages, just a very long very steep uphill walk. It is SO WORTH IT. Once you get close to the top you will come upon the ruins of an old hotel that are pretty rad, there are many walls and stairs still standing. I have spoiled my children. We do long hikes with great payoffs. This by far was their favorite. It has set the bar where they expect great ruins and incredible vistas on each hike. It is the standard of all good hikes for them (I like some physical challenges like a good scramble- but they sustained elevation gain on this one does give me my physical challenge I look for). After spending some time at the ruins, the top is just a short hike. The views are incredible, the fire tower is an added perk and the historic house an informative little rest. There is also an outhouse at the top. The first time we went there was a volunteer with Oreos at the top to congratulate you for making it! Even on a cloudy day it is worth it. We saw families with babies, elderly people and pregnant women at the top. If you take your time and slowly walk, it is doable for most anyone

A beautiful and serene monastery that serves as a retreat and study center and is worth a visit.

Beautiful zen grounds, visitors are welcome to explore the monastery and gift shop. Free parking onsite. The monastery is located at the trailhead of an easy hike. We always stop here after a winter walk up the mountain. Very peaceful and educational. They have numerous events and programs.

Nestled in the lush green hills of Marlboro you will find Benmarl Winery. Overlooking the historic Hudson River Valley, it’s 37 acre estate lays claim to the oldest vineyard in America. The winery also holds New York Farm Winery license no.1.
Reviewed By DameonG38 - Mount Vernon, United States
The view at Benmarl Vineyard is just breathtaking. The services was excellent and the wines were everything you needed in a good glass of wine. I loved the experience at this Vineyard from the arrival to the end the service was top notch. The food was very delicious, the pizza is one of my favorite which is made on premises. Benmarl have some of the best pizza period. The cheese spread is another excellent choice. My favorite wine at Benmarl is the semi dry riesling this wine is so refreshing. I ended purchasing several bottles. If you are ever in the area this is a must do.

Never went apple picking before, for me or my girlfriend! We are seniors and felt like children again! They not only had many varieties of apples, but also tomatoes, egg plant, grapes and every size of pumpkins in the pumpkin patch. Also they sold goodies like apple cider donuts, and apple cider. They also have a restaurant and bar. They don't charge to go on the property (and picnic) and their prices are very reasonable. Their staff is very kind and friendly. There are free tractor rides. They have activities all Spring, Summer and Fall! Be sure to grab their flyer, as there are many more than I can mention here. DEFINITELY will return!
