As the weather warms and blossoms awaken, so too does the spirit for local activity...
Ulster County springtime brings with it an abundance of agricultural produce and experience. “Tap” into the season with a Maple Sugaring Program at Forsythe Nature Center. Or take a hike after attending the 4th Annual Kids’ Day in the Sugar Bush at Mohonk Mountain House.
Local wineries offer 
events throughtout the year and historic sites and attractions all open with new and exciting programs with a fresh start for the season. Reserve a weekend at the Saugerties Lighthouse or completely pamper yourself with a stay at the Emerson Resort and Spa with its new Phoenix Restaurant and luxurious menu of spa treatments to choose from.
Cycling, fishing and golfing are among the activities sports enthusiasts are impatiently anticipating as the snow disappears and winter melts away.
But if all of this is too much, just enjoy the natural beauty abounding in Ulster County. 
Whether the season comes in like a lion or a lamb…
There is so much to do this time of year. Whatever your interests, Ulster County has something for you.
