Head outside in the Catskills
If hiking to the top of a Catskills peak, mountain biking at Walnut Mountain Park or rafting down the rapids of the Upper Delaware River aren’t enough to satisfy your need for outdoor adventure, there’s plenty of other places in the Sullivan Catskills that will fill the bill.
From mountaintop views to riverside thrills, there’s no shortage of ways to play outside. You can:
- Paddle or float down the Delaware River with local outfitters.
- Zipline across the valley at Kittatinny’s Dual Racing Zipline, soaring 150 feet above the ground.
- Race at Monticello Motor Club’s 3.6-mile track for a full-throttle adrenaline rush.
- Fish and wade at Skinners Falls or cast a line in the famed Willowemoc Creek.
- Hike and bike the trails of Walnut Mountain, Mongaup Valley or Hickok Brook.
- Ski, snowboard snow tube all day, then trade the slopes for stories by a fire.
- Ride horses, chase waterfalls, join guided foraging walks or simply wander a wildflower meadow.
Whether you’re clipping into a mountain bike or gliding over calm waters in a kayak, adventure here about connecting, not conquering.
Zoom & zip
At Kittatinny Adventures in Barryville, you’ll find one of the country’s largest dual ziplines. Strap in and soar 36 stories high over the treetops, catching panoramic views of the Delaware River Valley before touching down, heart still racing, smile intact.
Rev it up
At Monticello Motor Club, speed has a new home. Drivers of all skill levels can test their limits on a professional racetrack carved into the Catskill foothills. Go-karts, race cars and “Taste of the Track” experiences turn everyday visitors into weekend racers.
Find your flow
Prefer the water to wheels? Paddle, float or fish the Upper Delaware River. From tranquil eddies to playful rapids, this national scenic riverway is the heart of Sullivan’s outdoor pulse. Outfitters in Narrowsburg and Barryville make it easy to spend the day on the water. No experience required.
Adventure here doesn’t come with a stopwatch—it comes with memories that move at the pace of the river.
