Pine Plains is a village in the southwestern part of the state, near the Massachusetts state border. It is part of the peaceful, scenic Hudson River Valley area, near the towns of Clinton Corners, Lafayetteville, Copack Falls and Irondale. This is one of the most historic regions of the state, filled with small towns and villages, antique stores, country markets and outdoor recreation. The Hudson River extends for 315 miles, and many of its’ attractions are located within 100 miles of Pine Plains. Some of the highlights include the Hudson River Maritime Museum in Kingston, the Clermont State Historic Park and Roosevelt-Vanderbilt National Historic Sights. The Hudson Valley surrounding Pine Plains is also one of America’s most historic wine regions. The Dutchess Wine Trail and Shawangunk Wine Trail host several special events throughout the year. Recreation on the river includes boating, fishing, swimming, hiking and picnicking. Nearby Bear Mountain offers mountain biking, golf, fishing and boating and wintertime activities like cross-country skiing and sledding. Taconic State Park is a short drive from Pine Plains and consists of more than 5,000 acres of outdoor fun, including swimming, trout fishing, hiking, picnicking and camping. A historic foundry, built in 1845, is also located inside the park, and is a museum that contains all the original implements of the time.
