Bethel is a quiet and compelling small town in the Catskills Mountains. Its most famous landmark, Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, sits on the original site of the 1969 Woodstock festival and now operates as a premier concert venue hosting major touring artists each season. Adjacent to it, the Museum at Bethel Woods showcases immersive exhibits that explore the social, political, and musical impact of Woodstock and the counterculture movement. Outdoor lovers can unwind along the trails and scenic viewpoints surrounding Lake Superior State Park, a peaceful spot for walking and recreational pursuits. The surrounding Catskill Mountains are grand destinations for hiking and seasonal recreation opportunities within walking distance from town.
