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 seven shooting clubs and preserves open to all.
There are numerous spots for catching trout, striped bass, pickerel, walleye and perch, as well as places for dip-netting, alewives and blueback herring. The beautiful
Hudson itself is an ideal setting for numerous species, including largemouth and smallmouth bass, striped bass, blue crab, 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 about six weeks,
Oct.-Nov. Muzzle-loading & archery hunting continue for 9 days after the regular season.
In designated hunting areas you can also find pheasant, turkey, grouse, woodcock, squirrel, cotton-tail rabbit, raccoon, coyote, and waterfowl. Turkey hunting is open in May as well.

2016 Travel Guide DutchessTourism.org 41

On June 30, 2016, the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum – the first Presidential Library in
America – will observe its 75th Anniversary. President Roosevelt’s belief that the government’s purpose is to serve the people launched an institution that has educated and inspired generations. It truly was an “Act of Faith” as he so eloquently put it. The 75th anniversary of the opening of the first Presidential Library is also a celebration of the Presidential Library System’s value to the nation – and an opportunity to recognize the importance of preserving our history, making that history accessible to the American people, and promoting public service.
The National Park Service turns 100 on August 25, 2016, and everyone can take part in the celebration!
The centennial will kick off a second century of stewardship of America's national parks and engaging communities through recreation, conservation, and historic preservation programs. We invite you to find your park and discover the national parks and programs in your own backyard!

Park Rangers conducts tours at our National Parks
Explore the natural beauty, flora and fauna, and the history of the Hudson
River with ecologist and educator, Kali Bird. Your group will be swept away by her passion and enthusiasm on her guided nature walk along the banks of the Hudson. Only limited walking is required. It is the perfect way to get up close to this iconic landscape, hear about its unique history, and about the animals and plants that thrive on the Hudson. And of course, there are always the amazing views.
Meet the animals who produce the milk for cheese-making at Sprout
Creek Farm, meet the cheesemaker, and meet the chef who creates delicious group meals. Groups enjoy touring the milking area, vegetable garden and barns, cheese sampling, cooking demos and a family-style farm-fresh lunch in the charming atmosphere of this working farm.
Oliver Kita was named one of the 2015 Top Ten Chocolatiers in North
America by Dessert Professionals Magazine. Oliver’s From Paris with
Love-Chocolate & Wine Pairing takes your group on a journey of chocolate; from the families who grow the cocoa, to the chocolatiers who master its flavor, to what enchants your personal palette. Add lunch or dinner for a complete culinary experience.
Let us help you create a fun, memorable trip to the Hudson Valley! Our services are complimentary: Sample itineraries, FAM tours, Maps, Video, and Online images.
