Orange County could just be the perfect place to vacation for a taste of backcountry New York State. Far away from the sprawl of the Big Apple, you're free to take to the mountain roads for scenic drives into the heart of the Catskills, or simply languish on bobbing river boats as they drift down the courses of the Hudson. Other travelers will go for something a little more adventurous, hitting the state parks and forests with camping stuff or cross-country skiing gear in tow.
Unless you're booking those Orange County vacation rentals to rack up the cross-country skis and conquer the backcountry snow trails of the Catskills, it's certainly better to plan your trip here in the spring, summer, or fall. Each season has its own draws. April and May see the state parks come into bloom, and the weather pleasant and cool. June, July, and August are festival time, with the hottest temperatures for cruising the Hudson. And then September and October mean seeing the changing of the colors in the New York forests.
Whizz down the courses of the Hudson River to see one side of Orange County, and then be sure to make a beeline for the wooded hills that dominate the district's backcountry. These are the gateway to the famous Catskill Mountains of New York State. Orange County vacation rentals there offer doorstep access to the Appalachian Trail, the powdered ski pistes of Belleayre Mountain, and cycling routes through bucolic farming communities and sylvan valleys. Meanwhile, the Kaaterskill Falls crash over the stone ridges, and white-water rapids roar down from the high peaks.
The nearest airport is in Stewart Intl. Airport (SWF), located 14.1 mi (22.6 km) from the city center.
If you prefer train travel, the main station serving the city is Harriman Station.
