We were in the area and read what appeared to be incorrect time to visit. We showed up - my 3 year old, my husband and myself to see the farm and take a tour that was advertised. A woman came out and told us she heard there was an error in an advertisement but that the tour was 10 AM and was over. She said for the 3 of us she would charge $40 and give us a little guide but she was about to have lunch. Then said they usually have a 5 person minimum. The ad I read said $5 per adult and $4 per child - Had she said $25/$30 to cover the 5 person minimum I would have agreed - - $40 was a bit excessive - my child is 3! There was a person left over from the tour and he looked at me and said no way is $40 worth it for the 3 of us. Just think, poor approach on her part. Never even gave a sterile apology for the false advertisement.

3. Trout Town - The Roscoe NY Beer Co.

This location has been fixed up from years ago. The building is modern, with a nice decorative interior. As you walk in, go to an available table. A small appetizer form is at the table listing 5 apps. I tried the "pigs in blanket" and it came with 4 out of 6 dipping sauce that one chooses. Submit the form to the barkeep and order your beer. A good way to try the beers is to order a sample of four. It comes on a wooden fish that holds 4 glasses in place. You choose the samples. Free popcorn from a machine is offered for the taking. This is a nice location to rest and grab a drink with eats after a long drive.
4. Prohibition Distillery

We visited this "Trout Town" craft distillery on a beautiful Indian Summer afternoon.
Brian the owner/master distiller gave us a thorough tour of the gluten free distilling process. (Corn based spirits)
We tasted all the good stuff at the end. All very smooth. We particularly enjoyed the Bootlegger 21 Bourbon.
We enjoyed some cocktails next door at the bar along with the owner's homemade pulled pork sandwich. This outdoor pub had a great vibe with 20-something's out playing corn hole. We enjoyed a leisurely time sipping and relaxing.
This is a great road trip destination. The small downtown has some unique shops and plenty of places to gear up for your fly-fishing trip.
Two enthusiastic thumbs up!
5. Buck Brook Alpacas

it's not very often one can get up close and learn about the beautiful alpacas that this farm offers. the farm is located about 10 minutes in the countryside of Roscoe NY and you must call ahead of time for your FREE tour. they have been in business about 4 years now and converted their land into this farm instead of building a housing development...good choice!
our guide was very informative and pleasant and the alpacas are beautiful, gentle and polite.....no, they don't spit at people!
two of us were there Saturday Aug 26 of this year. we saw and learned of the values of the different colors and coats of their Huacaya alpacas. there was a female who gave birth 2 days prior and her baby was sooo cute! also, there was one female ready to give birth at any moment...i wonder what she had?:)
the experience was very pleasant, informal and left us with lovely memories.
the shop is well equipped with all kinds of woolens for purchase with no sales pressure.
great for adults as well as children of learning age.
highly recommend if you are in the area.

Hands down best guide in the Catskills. Nick can find the fish and makes sure to deliver a full day of fishing. He brings a nice shore lunch too. Be sure to ask about his saltwater trips as well.
