Ulster County Adventures

Welcome to the Ulster County (NY) Adventures Blog!

My name is Mike, and I am a part-time resident of Accord, NY. Accord and the rest of Ulster County offer an incredible range of outdoor activities, great dining, fun shopping, and other places of interest.




The purpose of this blog is to share recommendations for activities, businesses, events, and anything else that goes on in Ulster County and surrounding areas. There are always new places to visit, and even if you have already discovered one of the great points of interest in Ulster, you may not know about additional activities that you can do.

For example, did you know you can take your own boat on Lake Minnewaska? You can get boating rights for your non-motorized (government-approved) kayak, canoe, or row boat by registering it with the park service. It only costs $30 for a year-long license, and it gives you the opportunity to view Minnewaska from a truly unique vantage point.

Also, did you know that you can visit the Mohonk House Garden Store even if you aren't staying as a guest at the hotel? You can get a temporary pass to go to the garden shop to purchase the same plants and accessories that make the grounds of Mohonk so amazing.

I'll keep updating this blog with posts about the various cool things that you can do in and around Ulster County with specific directions on how to get there and an overview of what's involved in the case of registration, etc.

I'm also happy to answer any questions about things to do in Ulster, so don't be shy about asking!

Mike
