WELCOME TO THE HUDSON VALLEY & BEAUTIFUL ESOPUS, NEW YORK

Nestled in the heart of New York’s scenic Hudson Valley and set along the banks of the majestic Hudson River is the charming, historic town of Esopus. Just two hours north of New York City, here you will find a region rich in its culture and heritage. Known for its agricultural lands, pastoral open spaces and breathtaking mountain views, the natural landscape of the countryside draws outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers of all sorts. And the Hudson Valley is a vibrant cultural center, where art, dance, drama, music and film all have a home.

Esopus hamlets border the Rondout Creek: Sleightsburgh, Connelly and New Salem. Rifton (the home of Perrine’s Bridge) and Dashville border the Wallkill River, and Port Ewen, Ulster Park, Esopus and West Park all border the Hudson River. Other water features include Sturgeon Pool, Esopus Lake, Mirror Lake and Louisa Pond. The central location makes it ideal for a permanent or part time residence, minutes from Kingston, Rosendale, New Paltz and Lloyd with easy access to commuter trains, buses and the thruway.

LIFE IN ESOPUS

Esopus is home to much of the Marlboro Mountains, which extend from Newburgh. The highest point of them is at Hussey Hill, which gained notoriety as a place where there were several sightings of “fool’s gold,” leading the formation of multiple mining operations. A more publicly accessible peak is Shaupeneak Ridge, which is home to a cooperative recreation area maintained by Scenic Hudson, and to the John Burroughs Nature Sanctuary.
