Activities At Stonewater Pines
Fly fishing
At Stonewater Pines, fly fishing on the world's most famous trout stream is literally at your fingertips. With over 1,000 feet of direct Beaverkill River frontage, novice and experienced anglers alike can experience why the Beaverkill is known as the cradle of American fly fishing. We are happy to coordinate a private guide for you and your group, either directly in front of the Hemlock House, or on another stretch of river. Guides book up well in advance, so give us a shout!
Hiking
Enjoy a hike on the private trail system designed by local trail expert Cima Bue. For those looking for a lengthier excursion, we are 8 minutes from the Trout Pond/Mud Pond hiking trails, and 10 minutes to an entrance of the Finger Lakes Trail, a 1,000+ mile trail system connecting Catskill Park with Niagara Falls.
yoga
With multiple tranquil locations within the house and throughout the property, yogis will find themselves at home here. The sound of the gently rushing water of both the river and stream make for a particularly zenlike experience. Yoga mats and blocks are provided with your stay.
BIRDWATCHING
From the largest Bald Eagle to the smallest Ruby-Throated Hummingbird, guests at Stonewater Pines are treated to an incredible variety of bird species (over 50 and counting so far!) Whether sitting on the back deck or walking through the forest, both amateur and seasoned birdwatchers will find themselves at home here.
Stargazing
For those of us who spend part of our lives in urban areas, few sights are more breathtaking than looking up at the night sky once the city lights fade away. Take a cocktail out to the firepit on a dark night, and admire the bevy of constellations, shooting stars, and even satellites that remained elusive only a few hours prior.
snowshoeing
Our private trail system only becomes more beautiful after a snowfall. Strap on a pair of our complimentary snowshoes and explore the property's magical tranquility in wintertime. Keep a close eye out for winter wildlife (or the tracks they leave behind in the snow!)
