A 4-Day Itinerary for Adventurous Families
Meet @wechoseadventures, an adventurous family of five from Baltimore, MD. Known for their epic road trips and love for the great outdoors, they recently spent four unforgettable days exploring the Great Northern Catskills of Greene County. Follow along as they bring their trip to life!
DAY 1
Once we arrived at Winter Clove Inn, we felt as though we had stepped into a postcard of Catskills beauty. The charming, family-owned resort is set on 300 acres of private land and has been welcoming guests since 1838, making it one of the oldest continuously operating inns in the Catskills.
Immediately after checking in we went to explore the property! We tried our hand at pickleball, shuffleboard, and tennis before rallying the boys and taking a hike up to Artist Falls—a stunning 25-foot waterfall just a short jaunt from the inn. Years of natural erosion have carved a beautiful basin at its base, and the Alfred Clark Covered Bridge perches right above, offering a picture-perfect view.
As the sun set, we headed back to wash up before settling in for dinner at the resort, followed by live local music and an outdoor barbecue. This place was making all my classic Catskills resort dreams come true!

DAY 2
Day two of our Catskills adventure was packed with action. We started the morning at North-South Lake State Campground, where the Catskill Mountains revealed their best: rushing streams, cozy campsites, and sweeping vistas. If you’re in the Great Northern Catskills, a stop at North-South Lake is a must. Here, hikers can choose from easy, medium, or challenging trails, each offering incredible views.
Afterward, we made a quick stop at Mama’s Boy Burgers in Tannersville to refuel before letting the boys run wild at Zoom Flume Water Park—New York’s #1 Family Outdoor Water Park. With tandem racer slides, thrilling twisters, shallow splash pools, and a winding lazy river, you’ll want to reserve a good amount of time—and sunscreen—for a full day of fun.
Back at Winter Clove Inn, we relaxed over dinner and then gathered around the bonfire to toast marshmallows and enjoy s’mores under a sky full of stars. The perfect end to a perfect day!
ABOVE AND BELOW: ZOOM FLUME WATER PARK
DAY 3
We started the day slow. I enjoyed a quiet moment with coffee on Winter Clove Inn’s wrap-a-round porch, watching the first hints of autumn color appear in the trees. Soon enough, the boys were up and ready for action. With so much to do right on the property, they headed out for a quick round of golf on the premises before we ventured into downtown Catskill for breakfast at Willa’s.
Our next stop was the Thomas Cole National Historic Site and studio! This was such a fun way to learn about the “father of American landscape painting,” view historic artworks, and take in the surrounding mountains that inspired his iconic art style.
We then sauntered along the Hudson River Skywalk, connecting two national historic landmarks, the Thomas Cole Site and Frederic Church’s Olana, both offering sweeping views of the Hudson Valley below and the Catskill Mountains above.
Lunch at Subversive Malting + Brewing, one of our local favorites, was a treat before we headed into downtown Catskill. The boys were thrilled exploring the game selection at Kirwan’s Game Store and hunting for vinyl treasures at Spike’s Record Rack
Back at Winter Clove Inn that evening, we wrapped up our day with a cozy dinner, savoring every moment of this Catskills retreat.

On our final morning, we enjoyed breakfast once again at the inn before we set out for a morning hike along the breathtaking Kaaterskill Falls trail. After taking in the stunning views, it was time to head home, already dreaming of our next trip back to the Catskills.

Near Athens, step back in time to explore the oldest surviving home in Upstate New York at the Bronck Museum, where Dutch architectural influences tell stories of early American settlers. From there, head to Coxsackie's Reed Street National Historic District, where 19thcentury architecture is being beautifully restored and repurposed into charming shops and restaurants.
CAPTURE THE HE ART OF THE REGION
It doesn’t require a creative eye to see how the arts are thickly woven into the tapestry of everyday life here. On the first Friday of each month–aka First Fridays–the Village of Catskill comes to life with galleries, shops, and eateries opening their doors for an extended evening of art walks, live music, guest artists, activities, and community connection. At Foreland, a contemporary art campus in Catskill, artists and creatives collaborate in an inspiring riverside setting, presenting thought-provoking works that
push boundaries. CREATE Council on the Arts’ Catskill gallery space features local artists' work on Main Street. Every summer, Cat'n Around Catskill turns the village streets into an open-air gallery, showcasing whimsically painted and decorated cat sculptures designed by local artists. A short walk from Main Street over the Catskill Creek, the Bridge Street Theatre stages innovative performances – from daring plays to live music and dance.
Just up the river, the Athens Cultural Center offers a vibrant gallery and creatives’ gathering space and hosts the annual Victorian Stroll

Paddle to the Hudson-Athens Lighthouse or around Middle Ground Flats. For rentals and guided excursions,
Screaming Eagle rentals, Catskill Charters and Sail Hope Inc. provide a number of services.
WATERFRONT DINING
With so much natural beauty to behold in the River Region, it only makes sense to seek out a relaxing lunch or dinner outside on the water during summer and early fall. Some of the loveliest views are in Coxsackie, with Patrick Henry’s Tavern being a great place for elevated pub food and wood-fired pizza. Next door, at the James Henry Hudson Valley, the Day Line offers birds-eye views over cocktails from the new rooftop restaurant’s patio dining area.

A recent article on Eater NY starts out, “The state’s best Mexican restaurant just might be in the Catskills.” Make a reservation, and plan for your tastebuds to be inspired.
Work. Wander. Play. Repeat.
For a change of scenery or that next great brainstorm, take a Catskills Workation
Imagine this: Before kicking off your workday, you’ve grounded yourself with a tranquil trail walk or invigorating hike in the Great Northern Catskills. Follow that with a longer-thanusual shower, and your “go” face for the workday is looking, well, so very refreshed. You boot up your laptop and after the initial beeps, buzzes and whirring of the login process, it’s … quiet. Or maybe you hear the babbling waters of a nearby creek, the melodic whistle of a Wood Thrush, or the rustle of leaves buoyed by a passing breeze in the adjacent woods.
This is your Catskills workation!
As more people seek to balance work responsibilities with personal enjoyment, the workation has gained momentum. For some, it might be blended with a weekend trip for a wedding that then morphs into an extendedstay workation. For others, it’s a purposeful escape either solo or with a partner, a special friend or family.
In the Great Northern Catskills, a workation includes activity and adventure 12 months out of the year–whether you travel in the winter for skiing or for a snowy weather adventure or in the spring to chase waterfalls. In the summer the kids can enjoy a day at Zoom Flume Water Park, and in the fall the leaf peeping is nothing short of spectacular. Whatever the season or escape that calls, all lodging accommodations and co-work spaces in Greene County have high-speed internet, as do most local cafes and breweries.
There’s so much natural beauty and serene surroundings and adventure to be had here in our Mountain, Valley and River Regions. Paired with being home to the best places to stay in the Catskill and Hudson Valley regions, the Great Northern Catskills of Greene County offer an ideal setting for pairing productivity with escape from the routine to reset and refresh.

Legacy Catskill Family Resorts
Offer Modern Families Timeless Escapes & Priceless Memories
As vacation time is trending more towards quality time spent with family and friends, Catskill’s iconic resorts are filling a niche.
On a clear August morning, Francis Thomas Duffy revels in celebrating his 101st birthday under the generous shade of a large maple tree encircled by family, everyone laughing and relaxed. It’s Duffy’s annual family vacation at Sunny Hill Resort and Golf Course in Greenville. A whopping 80 relatives have come together for the week. For 55 years, generations of the Duffy family have vacationed together at this all-inclusive Catskills family resort. Francis sums up his lifetime of family vacations at Sunny Hill like this: “I leave my home, and I come home.”
Relatives are quick to chime in, gushing about how much they can’t wait to return each year to this homeaway-from-home, scenic, adventure-filled getaway.
“My kids would rather come here than go to Disneyland,” says not one but many of the parents with school-age children.
Meanwhile, in the main lodge, Jenna, a 15-year-old from Queens, with piercings and an edgy, fashionsavvy look, wraps up a successful morning of selling the jewelry she had made during her family’s stay at the resort. She’s neither glued to her phone nor looking like she is about to die of boredom–the look you might expect from a present-day teen on a family vacation.
“The people are great. It’s very open,” Jenna cheerfully volunteers. “There’s a place for everyone.”
Jenna’s mom says she started taking her young family to the resort five years ago after seeing friends' social media posts of their vacation week at Sunny Hill Resort.
Outside of the main lodge, a 24-foot mobile climbing wall has been rolled in, and children and teens have lined up to take a turn scaling the wall and smacking a bell at the top to broadcast their accomplishment.
Across the main driveway is an immaculately kept, large in-ground pool, a junior pool, and a splash pad. Around the corner, families are playing pickleball. Everywhere there are “free-range” children (and adults) biking and riding scooters on the sidewalks and resort’s private roads.
Sunny Hill has an 18-hole golf course on its meticulously maintained 450-acre property with stunning views of the Catskill’s Blackhead Mountains. While some visitors take advantage of the golf facilities, including the driving range
and pro shop, available to guests at a discounted rate, many are too busy enjoying the resort’s other offerings— horseshoes, shuffleboard, bocce, pickleball courts, eight playgrounds, rowboats, paddle boats, fishing on the 10acre lake, and more!
For the ambitious, the resort has a 5.5-mile Viking Obstacle Course with more than 35 obstacles, including rope climbs, wall climbs, and log balancing, among other challenges. Yet something as simple as taking a turn ringing the dinner bell, which was the founders’ former schoolhouse bell, are equally popular as the resorts’ daily routines make visitors feel at home.

It’s nearing noon, and the chef is finishing up the lunch options of caprese sandwiches, Caesar salad with chicken, and hot or sweet sausage hoagies with bell peppers. In the expansive dining room with a glass wall of floor-to-ceiling windows looking out towards the Catskills’ Blackhead Mountains, tables are neatly set to accommodate 300+ guests. The authentic, midcentury furniture looks like something out of a Swiss mountain lodge. Three meals a day are part of the resort’s all-inclusive package, and each week has a lineup of scheduled events and entertainment at Sunny Hill. After dinner a fleet of unique and vintage vehicles are rolled out every evening for the popular “Just for Fun Rides.” The fleet includes a World War II tank, the “bumblebee” mobile, hay wagon rides, and an antique, open-air passenger train among many others.
The week’s festivities culminate Friday with the Lake Party– a lakeside celebration with live music, dancing, a fireworks display and the vintage animatronic “Hank and Bo Show” for an evening to remember.
Like many of the family resorts in the Great Northern Catskills, Sunny Hill was founded over 100 years ago and continues to be family run. As a result, for many guests the “all-inclusive” part of the family resort experience is more than the meals, lodging, activities, entertainment and amenities built into the package stay. It’s also the bonds formed with fellow guests and the resort owners that create an inclusive feeling of “family” that extends beyond your stay.

REVOLUTION 250
A month after the Battles of Lexington and Concord — the first military engagements of the Revolutionary War, 225 men signed the Coxsackie Articles of Association at what is today the Bronck Museum in Coxsackie. This declaration was signed to declare their dismay over new British taxes and the violence that had erupted in Massachusetts.
Open for tours May through October, the Bronck Museum is the site of the Hudson Valley’s oldest home, a 13-sided barn, and a number of other historic buildings. At the Heritage Craft Fair, shop for locally handcrafted items such as pottery, woodworking, textiles, candles, jewelry, and more.

Born Here: American Romanticism
In 1825, Thomas Cole, a young British-born painter, journeyed by steamboat up the Hudson River from New York City, in search of inspiration. Stopping in Catskill, he was captivated by a landscape of lush valleys, cascading waterfalls, and towering peaks. Cole dedicated his life to painting these dramatic landscapes, sparking America's first major art movement—the Hudson River School of Art. His Catskill home and studio became a gathering spot for artists and writers.
Today, you can visit the Thomas Cole National Historic Site, where he created many masterpieces. The six-acre property includes his historic home, two studios with original works by Cole and his sister, Sarah Cole, contemporary art exhibits, and personal items.
