Winter in the Sullivan Catskills is a magical time of the year—it is a perfect escape. Sitting by a cozy fire while sipping in a hot cocoa and watching the snow fall outside your window, makes you want to curl up with a warm blanket and hibernate until late spring. But how can you stay inside when an enchanted outside world of a snowy wonderland awaits? The irresistible sun beaming off the lustrous white terrain summons us to begin outdoor adventures filled with laughter, exploration, restoration, and fun—especially in the Sullivan Catskills where there are so many incredible adventures to have from December to March: skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, sledding, tubing, snowshoeing, horseback riding, ice fishing, Bald Eagle Watching and so much more.

ICE FISHING
Fishing is year-round in the Sullivan Catskills. We are known for the abundance of trout in our lakes and streams. Fishing does not stop with our lakes freeze. Our fish are always biting even under the ice.
All you need is 3 to 4 inches of solid ice, warm gear—from head to toe, fishing license, ice auger (you can rent), and any type of fisher poles and you are set to go!
