Pack A Picnic And Dine Alfresco Atop Burger Hill.
When you get your first glimpse of the Catskills, you’ll quickly understand how the sandstone mountains, covered with old-growth forests, have inspired artists and delighted vacationers for centuries. One of the easiest ways to view the Catskills in Rhinebeck is from Drayton Grant Park at Burger Hill, which recently won Hudson Valley Magazine’s 2021 Award for Best “Small Hike, Big View.”

Although it is located about 10 miles upriver from Hyde Park, Franklin D. Roosevelt’s hometown, Wilderstein, is forever connected to the 32nd president. The impressive three-story Queen Anne mansion is the ancestral home of Daisy Suckley, a close confidant of America’s longest-serving president. Not only is she the woman who gifted FDR his beloved and well-known black Scottish terrier, Fala, but she was also with him when he passed away in Warm Springs, Georgia, during World War II.
While the clay-colored Victorian mansion with dark green accents and a distinctive circular tower is impressive, so are the gorgeous grounds. They were designed by Calvert Vaux (one half of the dynamic duo who designed New York City’s Central Park) and include an impressive network of carriage drives and walking trails rimmed with native flora and accented by wooden gazebos.
Explore the grounds and exterior of Wilderstein between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. year-round at no charge. Or dive deeper into the property’s history with a guided tour.

7141 Albany Post RdEnjoy Scenic Views Of The Catskills And Beyond At Ferncliff Forest
Although it’s a bit more of a hike (1.2 miles out and back) and is best paired with a whole lot of stairs (more on that in a bit), one of the best views in the Hudson Valley is at Ferncliff Forest. Although it’s open year-round for mountain biking, fishing, camping, and other outdoor activities, the game refuge and forest preserve is best known for its steel-fire tower that offers panoramic views of the Catskills, Hudson River, and Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge.
The lookout tower is an easy 0.6-mile trek through the old-growth forest from the parking lot, but you will need to climb eight flights of stairs for the rewarding view.
Pro Tip: If you enjoy hiking, check out these other great treks in the Catskills.
