Auto rallies to provide tours of the region
A series of automobile rallies is scheduled in the region this year. According to a news release, the fourth Schoharie Turnpike – Kaaterskill Clove Rally will open the 2025 season of Catskill Region Driving Tours for Enthusisasts on Saturday, June 14. Three driving tours are "just for the enjoyment of driving beautiful, rural roads in our Catskill Region," the release stated. They are noncompetitive and open to all cars. The routes are detailed in full color maps and are designed to explore five Catskill region counties, with stops at museums and historic sites. Participants will explore the far reaches of Schoharie and Greene counties on the 130-mile route, according to the release. The event will begin with breakfast at Café Italia at Dutchman's Landing Park on the Hudson River in Catskill. From there, drivers will travel to Athens and pick up the Schoharie Turnpike, chartered in 1802, leading to the Old Stone Fort Museum in Schoharie, site of warfare in the American Revolution. They will then follow the Schoharie Creek and visit museums in Gilboa and Prattsville, with a concert at the Piano Performance Museum in Hunter, before descending the Kaaterskill Clove, according to the release. Two fall rallies — on Sept. 20 and Oct. 18 — will start at the Catskills Visitor Center in Mount Tremper. The ninth Catskill Conquest Rally on Sept. 20 will visit the Cauliflower Festival in Margaretville, then drive to Roxbury for a visit at John Burroughs' Woodchuck Lodge and lunch, then a stop at Hobart Book Village, site of seven book shops. Hanford Mills Museum and Polar Bear Ice Cream will be included on the route. The seventh Catskill Covered Bridge Rally on Oct. 18 will follow 13 creeks and rivers in Ulster, Sullivan and Delaware counties. Drivers will cross four historic, restored covered bridges, including crossing both branches of the Delaware River. The three Driving Tours for Enthusiasts will be featured in a brochure in the Catskill Challenge series of the Catskills Visitor Center. Detailed maps will be available at Visit the website for the rally entry form and more information and history.
