Putnam County outdoor adventure

From the East Branch Reservoir all the way to the majestic Hudson River, Putnam has some exquisite locations to catch a variety of bass, trout, or sunfish. Do not let the snow stop you, ice fishing is a great activity to enjoy. *Disclaimer: Note all anglers will need to follow all regulations set by the NYS DEC and NYC DEP.*

Situated in the heart of the Hudson Valley, is Fahnestock Winter Park. This beautiful winter park is nestled within the 16,000 acres of Clarence Fahnestock Memorial State Park. Fahnestock Winter Park offers visitors cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and sledding/tubing within 20 km of machine groomed ski trails and an extensive network of blazed snowshoe trails that are suitable for all ages.
In Putnam, we embrace art & culture and encourage the arts to thrive in our community.

Magazzino Italian Art — the only Italian art museum in the United States dedicated to post-war contemporary Italian Art is an absolute delight.

Walking through the galleries, you’ll find bold installations, thought-provoking sculptures, and paintings that make you stop and stare.

While you’re there, stop by Café Silvia for a snack or coffee to keep your energy up. And don’t miss out on the cutest little surprise during your visit, the Sardinian donkeys at the back of the museum.
