FISH AND GAME
Whether you’re looking for trophy-class
fish or you just want to experience the
tranquility of a secluded trout stream,
Dutchess County has it all. The Hudson
River is quickly becoming the destination
point for anglers from around the globe.
Our many stocked streams and lakes have
miles of public access available, and
hunters and water fowlers can challenge
themselves at one of our many multiple
use areas. For sporting clays, trap and
skeet shooters, Dutchess County is a top
Northeast destination, with six shooting
clubs and preserves open to the public.
There are numerous spots for catching
trout, bass, pickerel and perch, as well as
places for dip-netting smelt, alewives and
blueback herring. The beautiful Hudson
itself is an ideal setting for numerous species, including largemouth and smallmouth
bass, striped bass, brown bullhead, carp,
white catfish and American shad.
Dutchess County is one of the top two
counties in the Southern Region of New
York State for deer hunting, with a special
archery season for deer spanning a total of
about six weeks. In designated hunting
areas you can also find pheasant, grouse,
woodcock, squirrel, cotton-tail rabbit,
raccoon and waterfowl.
Be sure to contact the New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation
in New Paltz for specific fishing and
hunting regulations and other relevant
information before your planned visit.
No license is required for fishing for
migratory fish in the Hudson River;

People who really love to shop...
love to shop in Millbrook.
Each of our stores has its own
distinctive style born from the
taste, resources, and expertise of
its proprietor. Our antique stores,
art gallery, jewelers, giftware and
fashion boutiques offer merchandise
you’ll not find at the mall or at any
major chain. In fact, much of what
you’ll find is unlikely to be found
anywhere else. We invite you to
treasure hunt for the “special”, the
rare, the perfect item for you or
someone you know. While you are
here why not stop for lunch at one
of our fine eateries?

VISIT DUTCHESS COUNTY'S
FARMS & RESTAURANTS
HUNGRY FOR FARM-FRESH EXPERIENCES?
Dutchess County, in the heart of the Hudson River Valley, offers you plenty
of opportunities to feed your body, as well as nurture your mind and soul.
The small, individual- and family-owned farms, vineyards and distilleries
located throughout the heart of the Hudson Valley are a sight to behold.
Breathe the fresh country air as you take in the lush farm-scapes, rolling
hills and horse farms, scenic river valley views and wide open space.
Interested in getting your hands a little dirty? Visit a Dutchess County
farm and learn how to make handcrafted cheese, how moonshine is
made, how hops are grown and turned into beer, tap a tree for maple
syrup, taste farm-fresh milk, visit the sheep that produce the finest wool,
explore a corn maze, or pick seasonal fruits, berries, vegetables,
Christmas trees and more.
If tasting is believing, then the opportunities are endless. Start the day with
a hearty, homemade breakfast served as part of your overnight stay at a
charming bed & breakfast. Sample the best of nature’s bounty at one of
our many farm stands or farmers markets. Take part in a wine tasting and
tour. And don’t forget to enjoy mouth-watering culinary creations at our
restaurants that incorporate fresh, local ingredients into their dishes.
One reason our restaurants are so exceptional can be traced to the
extraordinary variety of produce yielded by the area’s rich soil. More and
more chefs are developing distinct regional menus featuring locally grown
and sourced products. Many restaurants are fortunate to have Culinary

your agriculture, visit our specialty shops which offer an array of artisanal
foods and more that’s inspired by our breath-taking farms and fields. In
addition to preserving the local landscape and providing great-tasting food
and beverages, our farms play an important role in supporting the local
economy. Once known as the “bread basket of New York,” our region has a
rich, agriculture-based heritage that continues today. Dutchess County has
more than 1,700 farms encompassing about 30 percent of the county’s total
acreage, comprising over 170,000 acres. Together these farms, representing
a variety of agricultural sectors, generate millions of dollars in annual sales
and provide a direct economic benefit to area residents.
