One of the busier breakfast/lunch locations in the area... and for good reason! The food is always great and well priced. The clientele is pretty much an even mix of locals and NYC people.

Parks & Nature
Overlook Mountain
It is an easy hike with an amazing view.
If you are an experienced hiker, you probably already know about this. It isn't easy and should really only be tackled by people with the proper gear/experience.

This is an amazing hiking location. Unless you're very experienced, do not attempt the southern entrance to this hike. If you look this up on Google it will talk about a northern entrance point and that is the one you should with. (Unless you feel comfortable bushwhacking and scrambling up rocky walls)

This is a swimming hole. Part of Sundown Wild Forest, maintained by NYS Department of Environmental Conservation. Look for the Peekamoose Trail (off Peekamoose Road, County Route 42), then hike just under 4.5 miles to reach the falls. This used to be "secret" but is becoming more popular.

Sightseeing
Kaaterskill Falls
Large waterfall. Can run dry during late summer-fall.
You can walk along the dam here. It has amazing views of some of the tallest peaks in the Catskills. This is actually one of the main water supplies for NYC. They are strict about no dogs allowed and no touching the water!

Take Platte Clove road up from West Saugerties. It is only open from April 15th through early Nov due to it being dangerous with snow on the ground. This is a scenic drive with great hiking spots just off the road.
