Say goodbye to the hustle and bustle and hello to the Catskill Mountains - Nestled just below the Central Erie Canal Corridor region, the Catskills region promises to be the ultimate destination to reconnect with nature and your inner “Zen."

Enjoy scenic vistas on a C atskills hiking adventure, cast a line in a nearby river or stream, or discover the area’s breathtaking bounty of cascading waterfalls, both big and small. The Catskills are perfect for a quick weekend getaway from the city or week-long vacation with family or friends.

And, while you're here, make time to visit one ot the many burgeoning craft beer breweries.

Thanks to a mix of big events like the annual TAP New York Craft Beer and Food Festival and the growing number of new craft breweries opening their doors, the Catskills are rapidly emerging as one of the East Coast's most sought after craft brew destinations.

But along with its Zen-like vibe, the Northern Catskills offers plenty of excitement and action, too! You can zip down the highest, longest, fastest zipline canopy run in North America at Hunter Mountain, paddleboard out to the historic Hudson-Athens Lighthouse, or enjoy some family fun by making a splash at the Catskills’ No. 1 water park, the Zoom Flume.
