Written by on .

Awosting Falls: Easy walk/hike for all ages to a beautiful waterfall. Recommend to go all season, especially in the winter when the falls freeze over 

Lake Minnewaska: flat carriage road trail around the lake , 2.5 miles total. Swimming beach during summer months, can bring towels/chairs and picnic while swimming

Sam’s Point and Ice Caves: Hike to epic views of the Hudson Valley, climb through Ice Caves (open seasonally) and walk through dwarf pines to the top of Verkeerderkill Falls. *Kid favorite*

  • West Traps entrance – there’s a lot of hikes here. If you like running theres a good 4-5mile loop here. You will see a ton of Climbing
  • Spring Farm Entrance: Bonticou Crag at – If you like scrambling this is our favorite place in the area. Its not for anyone who is scared of heights
