From the Hudson River along the eastern boundary of town, to thousands of "Forever Wild" acres to the west, visitors to Thurman are immersed in the natural beauty of the environment.
In winter, choose between snuggling by a fire with a good book as snow blankets the landscape, or suiting up for outdoor fun. Ski at nearby
Gore Mountain, or ride the 188 miles of trails groomed by
Thurman Connection Snowmobile Club. You can also try sledding, snow-shoeing or cross-country skiing.
In March, Thurman’s maple producers host two “Maple Weekends” with open sugarhouses, sugaring demonstrations, and tours, including samples and sales of delectable maple goodies of all descriptions. Thurman also hosts an annual Sugar Party, an all-you-can-eat buffet topped off with traditional “Jackwax.” You can also tour
Nettle Meadow Goat Farm and Cheese Company and
Martin’s Tree Farm anytime of year.
Spring brings additional outdoor adventure—rafting, canoeing and kayaking from
Wild Waters Outdoor Center or
Beaver Brook Outfitters. For those with their own craft, the Hudson River can be accessed from the public launch on Route 418. Enjoy a scenic train trip aboard the
Upper Hudson River Railroad or go fishing through the summer. Hunters will revel in the abundance of deer, bear and turkey in the fall. Stay in a wide range of lodgings, from the amenities of
Glen Lodge, to camping at
Glen-Hudson or
Daggett Lake campsites.
