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.
