Swim
Along Route 209, between Ellenville and Kerhonkson, several swimming holes can be found on Sandburg and Rondout Creeks. Some of these swimming holes can be seen from the road while others are tucked further away. These swimming holes being so close to several towns and one major road make them easily accessible areas to cool off on a hot summer day. Swimmers should always exercise caution when swimming in creeks.
Rondout Creek has beautiful blue water with green trees along the rocky banks. This beautiful creek is a sanctuary for many types of birds and fish which can often be seen from the water or the shore.
Fishing is also allowed on Sandburg Creek and Rondout Creek. This area is a popular fishing spot because the tidal portion of Rondout Creek is a spawning area for migratory fish, as well as a wonderful area for catching bass year round. Fishers must follow state and local fishing guidelines.
