Get Away from the Everyday.... in Columbia County N
estled between the banks of the Hudson River and the foothills of The Berkshire Mountains sits Columbia County– one of the jewels of the Hudson Valley. Whether it’s relaxation you seek or an activity-packed getaway, Columbia County is the place. Meander through historic villages and hamlets while discovering miles of unsurpassed rural beauty. Along the way, explore one of over 20 historic properties, or the many art galleries and antique shops. Indulge your appetite with award-winning cuisine at eclectic dining establishments. Or, for something different, follow the artisanal beverage trail offering handcrafted tasting experiences at the county’s breweries, wineries, spirit makers, and cider mills. Pick-your-own farms and orchards provide ample family fun and for outdoor adventurers, a zip line park, downhill skiing and snowboarding, and miles of bike and mountain bike trails satisfy the need for thrills. At the center of it all is the “little city with big city flair,” Hudson. By day shop unique boutiques; at night the city percolates with music, theater, film and “hot spots.” And no trip to the Hudson Valley would be complete without a cruise on the mighty river itself. Sightseeing cruises operate seasonally. Relax and rejuvenate or play and explore, come and experience hospitality the Columbia County way. You will be glad you did!
