Drop the bags. Get wet. Lake Superior State Park sits ten minutes from the pavilion: sand beach, $5 in, kayaks and pedal boats by the hour, no motors allowed.

Dry off at Benji & Jake’s in Kauneonga Lake, one mile from the Bethel Woods gate. Two decks over the water, brick-oven pizza, corn ribs, and the lake doing something ridiculous with the light around eight.

Tomorrow is loud. Tonight is not.

Coffee and eggs at Bethel Market Cafe on 17B, open at 7:30 and worth the baked-goods detour.

The Museum at Bethel Woods opens at 10. Give it two hours, then walk the field: the monument, the sloping green, the Bindy Bazaar trails where vendors traded beads between sets.

Early dinner at Cochecton Fire Station, small plates in an old firehouse. Then the lawn, the violet hills, and half a million ghosts.

Breakfast at Main Street Farm in Livingston Manor: good coffee, a smoked trout sandwich, seating out back over the water. Catskill Art Space opens at 11 a block away, free, with revolving art installations.

Then twenty-five minutes west to Callicoon. The farmers market runs 11 to 2, creekside, everything from within 75 miles. Take home something handmade from The Callicoon Pantry.

Leave slowly. Come back louder.
