The must-see, can’t-miss places that can anchor a day or an entire stay.

With so much to do and so much ground to cover, it can be hard to know where to begin when planning a trip to the Great Northern Catskills of Greene County. This list of top attractions is here to get you started.
From the ski slopes of Hunter and Windham to the porch where Thomas Cole painted the view that launched an art movement, and from the cascades of Kaaterskill Falls to a lighthouse standing in the middle of the Hudson, there’s a top attraction for every kind of traveler and every season. Many lie within the 700,000-acre Catskill Park, others within the Hudson Valley. Together, they make this four-season destination, about two hours from New York City, the kind of place you’ll want to build your getaway around.
