The County Seat

The Village of Catskill is directly accessible to the NYS Thruway Exit 21, and has one of only seven bridge crossings over the Hudson River – The Rip Van Winkle Bridge, which provides easy access to the Amtrak Train Station in the City of Hudson, Catskill’s sister city.

Previous vacant buildings now house restaurants, retail stops, galleries, wine bars, coffee shops and other businesses. The county and the village are working on a walking trail from the Uncle Sam Bridge to the Catskill Mountain Railway Bridge providing direct access for customers to the waterfront businesses. Meanwhile, the Hudson River Skywalk crosses the Rip Van Winkle Bridge, creating a walking trail that connects both sides of the river.
