Summer Activities in the Catskills | The Roxbury Experience

Here are the best ways to make the most of your summer escape.

Step Inside a Fantasy

The adventure begins in your room. Each suite and cottage tells a different story through theatrical design, unexpected details and picture-perfect spaces.

Coordinate your outfit with your room’s theme, capture a dramatic photo beneath the statement lighting and enjoy being the main character for a while.

Discover Stratton Falls

Follow the property’s scenic forest trails to Stratton Falls, a breathtaking 50-foot private waterfall. Along the way, look for cascading streams, lush greenery, a stone arch bridge and beautiful viewpoints.

Visit in the morning for softer light, cooler temperatures and wonderfully dreamy photos.

Relax at The Crooked Cabana

Spend a sunny afternoon swimming in the outdoor pool, soaking in the hot tub or unwinding in the dry sauna. Stop by The Crooked Cabana Café for light bites, refreshing beverages and handcrafted cocktails by the pool.

For even more relaxation, explore the hot tub, sauna, steam room and relaxation spaces at Shimmer Spa. Massages are also available by advance appointment. Explore The Roxbury’s amenities.

Wander Through the Gardens

Take a slow stroll through Stratton Falls’ manicured grounds, where winding paths lead past colorful flowers, fountains, statues and cozy seating areas. Bring your morning coffee, find a peaceful reading spot or stay until the fire pits begin glowing beneath the evening sky.

Explore the Catskills Outdoors

Adventure continues beyond the resort. Bike or walk along the Catskill Scenic Trail, hike to the waterfall at Mine Kill State Park or pack a picnic for a relaxing afternoon at Kirkside Park.

Always check current trail conditions and park notices before heading out, especially after summer rain.

Discover Local Art, Shops and Stories

Experience the creative side of the region at the Roxbury Arts Center, which hosts exhibitions, performances and special events throughout the year. Check the Roxbury Arts Group calendar for current programming.

You can also browse independent bookstores in Hobart Book Village, shop and dine in Margaretville or explore local history at Hanford Mills Museum.

Sip, Dine and Celebrate Summer

Take a scenic drive to a Catskills winery or craft beverage destination for an afternoon tasting surrounded by mountain views. Back in Roxbury, enjoy locally inspired dining before ending the evening with s’mores, stories and stargazing around the fire.

Summer also brings live music, farmers’ markets, arts events and community festivals throughout Delaware County. Browse the Great Western Catskills event calendar to see what is happening during your stay.
