Beautiful place to visit with kids or adults. The tallest fall in New York and SO worth visiting. A very easy approach and multiple viewing points. The best thing - there is a swimming hole a the bottom! Kids will enjoy discovering the surrounding creeks too

Just minutes from the house. It's a local hidden spot so the approach is not labeled but you might see cars parked along Rt 23 (right past the Pratt Rock parking lot). Such a fun place to just hang out on warm rocks and dip into the crystal clear waters.
Keep in mind, this involves a bit of a climb down to the creek and the bottom of the creek consists of huge rock boulders; if you're coming here with younger kids, you might need to be alert as the waters are VERY deep and the tide could be very fast at times. This is a great spot for those that can swim well but make sure to bring floaties for the kiddos.

Yet another amazing swimming hole. Get there early as parking area is small. And bring swimming shoes if you can. If you’re into jumps this place is for you! Anything from a few feet, to what looks like 20+ feet up in the air. People jump off rocks, trees, there’s even a rope to swing on and into the water.

Stroll/Scenery
New York's Mount Rushmore. One of the earliest Civil War monuments in the nation and an easy hike for kids. The sculptures at the top and the view of the valley make the short climb more than worth the effort. (Tip: pack swimsuits and go for a swim in the Schoharie Creek after if the weather permits)

Great for a run, walk with the kiddos, a pup or just a stroll. It's a loop with mountain views, benches along the way, bridges, creeks and a breath of sweet country air

Always a great selection of produce. It's a bit further out but is a sure choice because their shelves are always stocked and it's conveniently located on the way back to the city

Whereas Story Farms has all the selection you want, it might feel a bit "commercial". For a more local experience, this place is it!
