If you’re from OCNY and want to get out more this spring, or you’re planning a visit and are not sure where to start, here are a few spots worth adding to your list.
As much as NYC gets the spotlight, there’s a whole side of New York just outside the city that’s just as worth exploring… and OCNY is a big part of that. Scenic views, outdoor adventures, and places that feel like a true escape without going far.
📍 Explore Storm King Art Center - Take in massive outdoor sculptures set against some of the best views in the Hudson Valley.
📍 Delaware River Rafting w/ Silver Canoe & Whitewater Rafting - Get out on the water for a mix of laid-back floating and just enough adventure to keep it fun.
📍 Shop local produce at Goshen Farmers Market - Browse fresh produce, baked goods, and local vendors right in the heart of Goshen.
📍 Walk, run, or bike the Orange County Government's Heritage Trail - An easy, scenic path that’s perfect for getting outside and moving at your own pace.
📍 Explore Greenwood Lake’s beauty on the water - Spend the day boating, cruising, or just taking in the views from the lake.
📍 Relax, unplug, and unwind camping at Neversink River Resort - A low-key escape where the campfire, fresh air, and slower pace do the work.
📍 Visit and ride the Bear Mountain Inn Merry-Go-Round - A one-of-a-kind carousel featuring hand-carved animals inspired by the region’s wildlife.
⚠️ Don’t forget to save this and share it with someone you’re ready to explore OCNY with this spring.
