We were looking for a nice walk in the late afternoon and found The Windham Path. A beautiful stroll easy enough for the whole family! The views in the fall were gorgeous!

The park is, as advertised, on top of a ridge overlooking the Hudson. Parking lot is by the featured lake, which makes for nice kayaking. We took the red trail, a 1.22 mile loop that takes you up to the overlook. From the overlook you can get a beautiful view of the Hudson River and the valley below. The former Mount St. Alphonsus is clearly visible. The view is probably much better in late fall or winter, when the leaves are off the trees. A 6 foot long Eastern Rat Snake came crashing down out of a tree as we walked by and slithered quickly off. Nearby was a garter snake trying to hide under some leaf litter. So I would have to conclude there are many snakes here, including, probably, rattle snakes, so exercise caution if venturing off the path. That said, this is an easy hike to take young children along on. Just spray them down with deet first. Ticks are problematic everywhere. The park is easily reached from 9W in the town of Esopus.

The Ashokan Rail Trail is an 11.5-mile recreational trail running along the northern shore of the Ashokan Reservoir in the Catskills. Surfaced with compacted crushed stone, the ART is wheelchair accessible and open for walking, biking, cross-country skiing and other non-motorized uses. Open sunrise to sunset year-round. Dog friendly. Woodstock Dike Trailhead open; two others opening soon.
Beautiful. Peaceful. Cold and windy. Parts of the water in the reservoir were frozen. It was fun to watch a snowball slide over the ice until it disappeared from view.

Whether you take the one mile roundtrip walk along the Wallkill River to and from the parking area OR the longer walk or bike ridge westward into the walkable Butterville Hills you are in for a treat that reveals New Paltz in ways it hasn't been experienced before. The view of the Shawangunk Ridge from the easily accessible Butterville Hills is exhilarating. There are flat boulders at the top where you can sit and take in the views. By summer next year, the loop that continues into the Mohonk Preserve will be completed. And, its all free. Bike rentals are available at the parking area
