Named after Zadock Pratt, the eccentric founder of the nearby town of Prattsville, Pratt Rock Park features stone sculptures carved directly out of the mountain. The pieces were commissioned by Pratt during the mid-1800s and include a bust of himself and his son, as well as a sculpture of his horse. Picnicking is permitted. There are also benches and chairs carved out of the rocks for visitors to use on their way to the top of the park.

Located in the center of town, Zadock Pratt museum highlights the history of Zadock Pratt and his family, as well as the surrounding region. A renowned businessman and former U.S. Congressman, Pratt planned the town himself and built approximately 100 homes for its citizens; many of these houses are still standing today. The museum grounds contain an herb garden and carriage house. In 1976, the house was restored to its original look. The place is a center for educational and cultural events in the city.

For long a subject of interest for authors and painters, Kaaterskill Falls is certainly a wonder of nature. Located within the Catskill Forest Preserve, it is the highest waterfall in New York State-that's right, at approximately 260 feet (79 meters) high, it's even taller than Niagara Falls (albeit far less powerful). The Kaaterskill Falls were especially popular with the Hudson River School of American painters during the mid-1800s. Today, there are numerous hiking and camping opportunities in the immediate area, and many visitors come to the falls in good weather.

Located 2500 feet above sea level, the non-profit Mountain Top Arboretum is both a preserve, and a garden complete with native trees, wildflowers, shrubs and a peaceful pond.

There is no fee to visit, although you may choose to become a member; all proceeds go towards maintaining the arboretum. 

An 18-hole public golf course, Windham Country Club offers both scenic beauty and a professional level golf experience to visitors.

It lifts you up 1600 feet to see the breathtaking views of the neighboring mountain ranges. Admission: $8 ages 13 and up, $6 ages 7-12.
