About 27 minutes away. There is a beautiful lake (was filmed in the first episode of The Sinner), with an easy walk around the lake. My favorite hike is Gertrude’s Nose (but hold your kids and/or dogs a little close due to quick drops). If Minnewaska parking lot is full you can continue further on the road and try the Awosting parking lot and Awosting trails.
