A nice incline for 2.5 miles up past the hotel ruins to fire tower. In the summer this hike can be brutal; as the wide trail is primarily in full sun, and it’s a very stead incline the entire way. Precipitation brings the chance you may not see anything when you reach the top. Running down no matter the weather is my favorite however.

Awesome hike to an even better view! Hiked in the night before and camped at Echo Lake. Not the easiest hike but take plenty of pit stops to check out your surroundings and you'll get to the top. Going up was brutal. Going down was a breeze. Didn't see and rattlesnakes but definitely be cautious.

I did this 4.6(supposedly 5) mile up and back hike in 2 hours with a break up top to enjoy the view and climb the fire tower. Pretty spectacular. 1400 feet of elevation according to Strava. Small parking lot. Enjoy

Popular, clearly defined carriage-road trail with 3 main attractions - 1. Resort ruins 2. Fire watchtower 3. Overlook viewpoint. Moderate difficulty hike with beautiful views and a good chance of seeing natural wildlife, picturesque scenery & friendly hikers. Trail & parking becomes very busy on the weekends & holidays. Recommend about 3 hours for moderate hikers to complete. Enjoyable for all ages.

Definitely a beautiful look out. Moderate hike to get to the top.You will also see a fire tower in an old Stone ruin of an old hotel that used to be back up there in the days.Definitely a must see if you are into finding old stuff.

Overlook is great but Fire Tower gives you best view 360 degree.

Mostly uphill hike and not a very exciting one but very manageable; the views from the tower and the sweet company of the men at the cabin on top are worth it!

The KTD Buddhist Center is truly a special place. As the North American seat of the Karmapa and the Karma Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, it carries a deep sense of history and spiritual significance. From the moment we arrived, we were met with warmth and kindness. Khenpo Sangye Trinley gave us a wonderful welcome, personally showing us around and sharing insights about the monastery and its profound teachings. The atmosphere was peaceful and inspiring, perfect for reflection and connection. Lunch was also a highlight, delicious and vegetarian, served in the serene setting of the center. Whether you’re visiting for a retreat, a teaching, or just to experience the space, KTD is a place of genuine hospitality and wisdom. Highly recommend!

Beautiful temple, very reverent and very historical. We could not go inside as there was a retreat happening, but I imagine it is gorgeous. Nice bookstore. Downstairs is a room of statues. Very foggy on top of the mountain.

Place of peace and life. The monks are incredibly humble and friendly, the monastery is clean and open to visitors as long as they remain silent and behave.

Beautiful temple up above Woodstock, easy to drive to, easy to find, plenty of parking, very peaceful, real working monestary with monks in residence, definitely worth the visit.

KTD is an authentic Tibetan Buddhist monastery in the Karma Kagyu School and is the North American seat of the 17th Karmapa. There is usually a tour on Saturdays around lunch. This is a truly magnificent place.

My most spontaneous, fulfilling gift to stumble upon during a time I was desperate to make my own fun out of nothing. The experience I didnt know i was signing up for changed my life in ways, dramatically and forever. Great place to heal

Beautiful place to stop by after hiking across the street. Got a lovely explanation of the significance of this place from John in the bookshop . We will be back to learn more and meditate ! Gorgeous and so peaceful

The food is okay. I did have some mushrooms that tasted off in my pasta, but the eggs were good. The place is adorable and a good stop off for food. My one issue was that the servers were really incompetent and (intentionally or otherwise) downright RUDE. There were two servers (someone at the register and someone behind the deli counter) and two customers (me, standing, and finally sitting, behind my walker, and another woman, who basically ordered one of every dish in the case. I counted her containers at the end and I believe I counted 13). The guy behind the register just stood there picking his finger while the other server dished out another container. Then another container. Then another container. While I waited. And waited, and waited, and, finally, sat down to wait. With two servers, there is no good reason I should have had to wait for this woman to order and have someone scoop 13 different items! The guy behind the register should have jumped in to help. I waited, because I assumed that the people on register must just not be trained behind the deli or vis a versa. But then, when the woman FINALLY left the deli counter with her many containers, and put them on the register counter to check out with the guy who had just been standing there for 10 min, the guy behind the deli counter (who had waited on this woman for at least 10 min, while I patiently sat), walked right passed me. I thought maybe he was grabbing a water or something. Nope. He went to open a second register, and proceeded to check out a person who had only JUST entered! (and he didn’t not see me. There were only four of us there. We were entirely visible to each other). I nearly left! Truly, I still can’t believe how rudely I was treated, nor do I understand what these men were thinking to treat someone like that! I was about to leave, but I must have stood there gaping at the rudeness, because a woman came out from the back to say “are you being helped.” I said “no. I have not been helped at all,” which is an incredible oversimplification of the rudeness I was shown. I ordered two containers: one egg salad (which wasn’t amazing but not bad at least), the other shiitake mushroom pasta (which tasted off, and I threw out). I really hope that the one employee standing around while the other serves 13 containers next time will jump in and help. And I hope that the other employee will not leave his post and give a cold shoulder to someone who just sat there waiting 10 min, to go help a customer who literally just entered. This is basic decency l, and it was lacking.

We really enjoyed coming here years ago. Things have changed. This review is for the restaurant. Their produce and products are great. The last two times we went in there, prime time. Restaurant was open,but when got there. That side was closed off? The woman working seemed overwhelmed with just very light business. She told us we could still order and hurriedly gave us a pen and paper to write down our orders instead of taking them. Same short staffed vibe both times. It's summertime you would think they would be cultivating all the business they could. We used to go for the food and the ambiance. If it has become a to-go Place only they should reflect that online.

Fantastic!!!!!! Great staff. Fresh, Organic food. Healthy smoothies. Delicious meals. Highly recommend. Good job to the staff and Owner.

For the most part this place is pretty awesome. However, today I ordered a power breakfast, and after the person handled money she then “washed” her hands with water and proceeded to cut fruit with her dirty hands. Just water does not clean your hands from bacteria! The staff should be trained and should know to use soap, right?

Sweet little market stocking the shelves with local products. A Woodstock favorite juice bar. We stopped in for local smoked trout.

Beautiful space outdoors, small seating area inside with smells of freshly made juices, and a substantial menu that has something for everyone.

Loved this place. Great Whole Foods at A reasonable price I want to know what this place is secret is lol

What happened to the Hippies? The rediculously overpriced tomatoes ($7,50/box) turned out to be waxed (not vaxxed, lol) and tasted exactly like the watery supermarket variety. It is easy to tell the difference, sucks that people do this. 'From the ground', right.

Don’t bother unless you want some vinyls or someone else’s used junk. About 15 “vendors” and a hot dog stand. That was it for what was touted as “the best flea market”. 🙄

Best place to be a vendor and experience the people and visitors of woodstock!!! The flea market is amazing curated mixture of vendors that bring so much life to woodstock. I highly recommend.

Small flea market with a 60's vibe throughout. Lots of gems, jewels and spiritual items are offered. Get there early as parking in Woodstock is at a premium on the weekends.

Love this market.. my favorite weekly event here in the heart of Woodstock every Saturday and Sunday from may to November.

Lots of very cool stuff - new, used, hand-made, store bought.

So much fun . The fashions were perfect for 4 people who loved Woodstock. If you need souvenirs to bring home from a holiday to Woodstock New York this is the place to get them.. Really good prices too and nice people

This is one of the best areas I have been to absolutely gorgeous with the cliffs especially for climbing the trails are all well maintained and incredibly easy to access! I will be back and am considering moving to the area bathroom 6/10 for a public bathroom on a trail it is one of the best I have seen for sure absolutely love this place

Very pretty and well maintained trail at RnR near new paltz. For active runners trail gets super busy in later part of the day so an early start is recommended. Nearby main st offers bike rentals and many local grub spots Definitely planning a late October visit to experience fall foliage 🍁

Just feel the nature. You can do camping also but BBQ not allowed you need to call them before you come for permission. Swimming not allowed.

There are so many things to do along the Shawangunk Scenic Routes. Breweries (Angry Orchard, etc.), ice cream, cool farms big and small, endless trails and mountains and falls and rivers in sooo many different parks, B&B/motels/camping (or be fancy and pay a fortune to stay at Mohonk Reserve). You can spend days here and won't be board!

Amazing!! Everyone in earth should come here just for the scenic views. Creation at its best!! Your eyes will thank you and your heart will be forever uplifted.

Climbing here is stellar. We did High Exposure, a multi-pitch trad climb with unbelievable views.

Best hikes for Mom walks as they watch & teach their kids how to identify edible plants & reach the top for a ledge view & lunch. Lots of lasting memories made here for decades.

Yes, this is the famous Bearsville in all its rustic glory. We went to see Booker T. Jones and he did not disappoint...but the artist and the theater are two different reviews. Sometimes there are chairs set up on the main floor and sometimes not. This time there was an open floor for standing/dancing. The small balcony at the back of the hall has reserved seats, and that made my experience very good. The sound system is great no matter where you are. There is a large bar in the lobby area but few places to sit while waiting for the show. The theater compound has three restaurant areas to eat before the show. One of the choices is a dive bar with bar food. Not impressive and not very attentive service. We did not try the others (Mexican and Tibetan). They have a large parking lot but only part of it is paved, and pouring rain means mud. Theater staff are quite pleasant and helpful.

What a great venue with shopping, restaurants and an historic musical walk in the compound. Bearsville is usually standing room with occasional front seating, depending on the artist. The area offers walking trails, quaint shops and a welcoming atmosphere. I can't wait to go back!

We visited The Bearsville Theater for the Mountain Goats concert in July. The venue was amazing. The acoustics are so good and the show was even more enjoyable because of it. The ambiance on the Bearsville campus is awesome. Parking was easy, there are so many places to relax, dine, or drink before the show. The venue is under new management and I thought they did a fantastic job. I reached out in advance to confirm ADA accessibility. The staff on the day were already informed of my needs and they had a section set aside for me so that I would be safe and be able to see the show, since it was a standing room only show. Easy to get to the bar to get a drink and overall, even though the show was sold out, we did not feel packed in or crowded. We’ve subscribed to their mailing list and can’t wait to go back and see another show there soon. Cannot recommend this venue enough for an amazing concert experience.

This is one of the nicest venues I've ever been to. Not only is it beautiful and well designed, but it's also clean and appears to be well managed and maintained. The staff we interacted with were all pleasant, and we enjoyed our drinks from the bar as well!

Awesome theater small intimate and a great place to see up and coming musicians.

Nice venue, decent lobby/bar area, although could stand to sacrifice that room for more auditorium space. Overall good acoustics and vibes though.

Both modern and rustic, this theater complex is very Woodstock. There is plenty of parking, a small, charming walkway with a couple places to get food and drink (right before the show without moving the car!), and a large outdoor picnic area right on the creek. The theater itself has super friendly staff, a nice open stage with an extra monitor in the lounge to watch, and a big patio. Good acoustics and decent lines of sight. We can't wait to see more shows here!

A library filled with so many choices of fun books, movies and free computer services There is a printer for a reasonable fee. The librarian provided free tax forms and instruction manuals for the current year. Plus, there are free quiet areas to use my laptop with outlets for convenience. I am proud to have the opportunity to have a library card!

Love the library. Great, helpful staff. Wonderful collection; juicy with books on creativity and of masters in the arts, sciences and crafts, as well as great selection of contemporary fiction and non-fiction. If the Woodstock people would learn to be silent in the library, this dear library would find me perusing its shelves more often.

Tons of programs for all ages, super helpful staff. Best library we've had the pleasure of being involved with!

Old library, cramped and small with a devoted wonderful staff and programs for many sorts: knitting, legos, bold discussions. A precious place.

This place is so remarkably MAGICAL. There's a kid's section, a cozy little corner teen lounge, and some really cool groups and events. please please PLEASE do yourself a favor and stop by on Halloween - it's a whole WORLD of its own. 💖

Great little library with plugins, comfortable seating and friendly staff. Sad to see masks are required. Hopefully that will change soon.

Excellent, kind staff and very good covid precautions. Beautiful garden and grounds with public benches. Thank you, Woodstock Library!

Just a few minutes from Woodstock is this beautiful gallery. The collection is diverse and interesting. The art, the garden, and Elena, everything is peaceful and charming here! I am glad that I found it.

Interesting art local and I international. The owner is very friendly and accessible.

Fascinating studio and gallery for new sculpture and painting. Owner is extremely nice and informative.

Great art selection and excellent pottery!

beautiful gallery and pottery! We loved it!

Very nice venue surrounded by forests.

The history goes way back to the twenties. The shows are high quality. It is known for supporting creativity artists in many ways. It's in a beautiful part of the lush Catskills.

Country retreat for artist. Calming quiet and beautiful.

Atmospheric space surrounded by the Woodstock Woodlands. Given a huge facelift by the professional Voice Theatre in the past several years. Intimate theatre space.

Well in to the woods of woodstock is this small comfortable performance space A very enjoyable dance repertoire

A unique spot on a mountain top. Very woodsie and friendly. Most acts from NYCITY . God,good,good.

A true gem, a work in progress to become a special place to have a small event or intimate gathering

This was a spontaneous find for me on a miserable rainy day and I thought it was awesome. I'm not religious, but what a cute church and I loved the little chapel behind it as well. It was so quiet and peaceful in the main church (which was open). Definitely worth checking out, even for a quick stop.

Unique, cute little chapel right by Overlook Mnt parking and borders the Monastery in Woodstock. Free street parking between signs. Stop by and say a prayer! Wouldn't suggest children for this one. Very small and intimate space.

325 Mead Mountain Rd, Woodstock, NY 12498-1038 is the correct address for this church. It is right next to a buddhist monastery and the head of a hiking trail. There is free parking very close by. If you are on a gravel road and you cannot see the church then you went to an incorrect address that was posted on google (hopefully google fixes it). We found the correct address on trip advisor. It is a beautiful church building and worth a visit.

An excellent source of historical information about the music, farmlands, settlers, authors, artists and buildings that make up the fabric of today's Woodstock! On-going exhibits and events help fund the work of hard-working, dedicated volunteers who are dedicated to preserving the rich, rich history of Woodstock, NY. Visit the website, check them out on FB and Instagram. Help when and where you can. Let's keep it going!

The exhibits and talks are always interesting and well done. This organization provides a great service to the community.

Enjoyed the opening of the new exhibit, "Making Woodstock Home, Artist William Arlt". It's running from Sept.9 - Oct. 30. Come and view the artist's landscapes, portraits and still life paintings along with photos of the Arlt family history. Don't miss it!

Hats off to the Woodstock Weavers, who put together a wonderful exhibit, displaying beautiful works of woven art, as well as holding multiple teaching hours, sharing their skills and the tools that have created practical and exquisite garments down through the centuries.

An incredible resource of Woodstock History. A very dedicated group.

Never been

The people in charge unfortunately do not seem to be professional or knowledgeable about community based use of the space. They seem very focused and concerned about profiting from the more established artists that are not even local to the area. A new reboot including the confusing name with the change of location is needed before one wastes their time and money trying to participate in a local community photography space. Very disappointing.

Escape from New York to CPW and you will find great imagery, art, and concept but little diversity.

Former student of the Mary Ellen Mark workshop, which met here, we photographed the local county fair.

I've been going to workshops at CPW since they were located on Tinker Street in Woodstock. I've always been impressed with the knowledge the instructors share with their students. Antiquarian processes such as wet plate collodion to lessons on becoming a contemporary commercial photographer, they've got you covered. Their staff is also remarkably competent and welcoming.

Great space. Cutting edge shows

I love this place. All seasons lovely walking and views. Never crowded. Great for walking your dog on leash! Bring clean up bags!! Totally level wide paths. You could jog happily. I

A small but beautiful preserve of meadows that are filled with pollinators and supportive plants. A great place for a walk in any season.

Please do not go there . You will find a lot of bugs and a walk, You do not want to remember. Please save your energy and go somewhere else..

No longer allows dogs, only service dogs

Flat, open, and mowed walk through the field. Great for a dog walk or a stroll at twilight in July to see fireflies. Also they do offer occasional classes. Happy that it is a preserve and accessible.

I live near here and it gives me similar feelings to a walk on the beach. A nice open space full of magic and air, with a beautiful view of Overlook. Very meditative and zen in the off season.

Thorn Preserve used to be the Loan Oak Dairy owned by a local family. Used to be a large barn in the middle of the field where cows were milked and the milk bottles. Later years the field was leased to farmers who planted corn or pumpkins. The far end of the field, next to the Sawkill Creek, has two large water pipes that carry drinking water down from Cooper Lake Reservoir to Kingston.

masks are beautiful and well made :))
