Town
of Cochecton - Sullivan County - New York
A cascading river and a
beautiful lake inspire life in Cochecton. Its Western
boundary is formed by the Delaware River, which is shared by
fishermen, swimmers, and canoers alike. The River is traced
by scenic Route 97, on which drivers must take care not to
be distracted by eagles soaring overhead. Near its center
lies Lake Huntington, where fishermen can be found in the
winter ice fishing and then get warmed by a home-cooked meal
or a drink at local eateries. In the summer, one can also
overlook the lake and its boaters from the deck of the
Nutshell Arts Center. Visitors to the Center can view works
by area artists, many of whom also exhibit in New York City,
before going downstairs to be delighted by internationally
distinguished performers in The Weekend of Chamber Music
Series. Also imported from NYC streets are the annual "City
Games" at the Fosterdale Motor Lodge. Home grown traditions
manifest in country stores, an ice cream parlor displaying
Early American artifacts, a railroad station/museum, and
craft exhibits at Cochecton Center's annual Founders Day.
Cochecton is also accessible from Routes 17B and 52. |
