New York’s Catskills are a year-round outdoor playground. Whether skiing in the winter, leaf peeping in the fall, or hiking in the spring or summer, you’ll find recreation opportunities for every season. Moreover, with breathtaking mountain scenery all around, it’s as scenic as it is fun. So, why would you settle for accommodations that relegate the great outdoors to the background? Because from Eastwind Oliverea Valley to Hotel Lilien, you’ll certainly find no shortage of luxury hotels in this part of Upstate New York. However, if communion with nature is what you’re after, you may find that these options fall short. Enter: Callicoon Hills. Keep reading to learn why this Catskills hotel is the ultimate way to stay in the Catskill Mountains.

Conveniently located in Callicoon Center, NY, Collicoon Hills is the perfect base of operations for all your favorite Catskills recreational activities. Here are just a few of the fun things to do near Callicoon Hills:
While Callicoon Hills offers its own hiking trails, you don’t have to content yourself with on-site hiking. Surrounding Sullivan County is home to miles of scenic hiking trails. From town parks to railtrails to state parks, from smooth and level to rough and steep, there are trails for every kind of hiker. One of the area’s most popular hiking spots is certainly Balsam Lake Mountain. Though somewhat strenuous, the view from the top makes it more than worth the challenge.
From Esopus Creek to the Little Delaware River, the Catskills are undoubtedly an angler’s paradise. However, nowhere is the fishing better than Roscoe, located about 10 minutes from Callicoon Hills. In fact, Roscoe boasts five of the best trout streams in the US! Popular fishing spots include Willowemoc Creek, Beaverkill Run, as well as their confluence, the legendary Junction Pool.
With significant snowfall, many Catskills recreational activities are inaccessible during the winter. However, if you like to ski, winter is the perfect time to visit. In fact, the Catskills boast some of the best skiing in New York. Top ski resorts include Windham Mountain, as well as Bellayre Mountain, Hunter Mountain, and Mohonk Mountain House.
Of course, outdoor recreation isn’t all there is to do in Callicoon Center. Here are some more tame activities to add to your itinerary:
Located 15 minutes from Callicoon Hills, Downtown Livingston Manor is a historic Catskills town offering shopping, dining, and more. Take a stroll down Main Street as you dip in and out of antique and boutique shops in search of the perfect souvenir. If you work up an appetite, you’ll find many quality restaurants, including the Arnold House, Robin Hood Diner, and Cafe 43.
Downtown Livingston Manor is also home to the Catskill Fly Fishing Center and Museum. Learn about the art of fly fishing, how to help preserve fly fishing environments, and why Livingston Manor is considered the birthplace of fly fishing in America.
History buffs and music fans alike will certainly appreciate this. Home to the 1969 Woodstock music festival, Bethel, NY commemorates this momentous cultural moment with the Museum at Bethel Woods, where multimedia exhibits highlight the festival and the 60’s counterculture at large.
Nearby, in the town for which the festival was named, you’ll find the spirit of the 60’s alive and well. Visit the Woodstock Artists’ Association and Museum to see works by local artists.
