Welcome to
Livingston Manor
New York
A small town with a big yard: a trout river through the middle, forty miles of trail out the back, two blocks of Main Street where every door is somebody’s own. Here it is, from people who live in it.

The river
The Willowemoc runs right through town and meets the Beaverkill a few miles downstream, in Roscoe. This is where American fly fishing was born, and on a hot day it’s also where everyone ends up.
The covered bridge
The 1860 bridge over the Willowemoc, a few minutes from Main Street. Wade in below it; the water’s cold even in August.
Junction Pool
Roscoe, 10 minutes westWhere the Willowemoc meets the Beaverkill. The most famous pool in American trout fishing, and worth standing beside even if you don’t fish.
Dette Flies
Main StreetThe family-run fly shop, going since 1928. Lessons, rentals and guided days on the Beaverkill, Willowemoc, Neversink and Delaware.

Walks and hikes
Willowemoc Wild Forest starts a few miles out of town, with more than forty miles of trail. Two loops and two fire towers cover most of what you’d want in a weekend.
Frick Pond loop
Two easy miles round a pond, with boardwalk through the wet bits. Good with kids, good after brunch.
Hodge Pond and Frick Pond
The longer version: about six and a half miles through pine forest, two ponds, mostly gentle.
Beer Mountain
10 minutesA short, easy climb that ends at Upward Brewing’s beer garden, which is the point of it.
Balsam Lake Mountain fire tower
Half an hour’s drive, then a proper walk up to a tower with the whole range laid out below.
Red Hill fire tower
The other tower, half an hour the other way. Shorter climb, same reward.
Where to stay
Small town, no chain hotels. Everything below is a walk or a short drive from our door.
The DeBruce
DeBruce Road, 10 minutesTwelve rooms on six hundred acres, half a mile of the Willowemoc, clawfoot tubs, and a dining room the James Beard Foundation has noticed. The splurge.
