City/town information
High Falls
Small town with restaurants and shops
Biggest town in the area - a lively main street, events at the SUNY, apple picking at Jenkins-Luekin Orchards, historic buildings on Huguenot Street, and a gorgeous but terrifying drive down the Shawangunk Ridge from the Waterfalls House. Make time to stop and take pictures at the designated viewpoints on Route 44/55!

Town that historically served as the hub of the area's bungalow communities. Over the past few years, there's been a bit of a revival after a few decades of disinvestment. Canal street now has a few great restaurants, including Aroma Thyme and Gabby's Mexican. Top Shelf Jewelry has some really funky vintage clothes and knick-nacks, Berme Road park has a fantastic playground and leads to hiking trails up the Shawangunk Ridge.
