Hello, my wife and I are trying to take a few days off and do a long weekend trip to either Poconos, Catskills, or Delaware Watergap. Looking for recommendations on itineraries for these places and recs on places to stay. We’re active and like to be out and about (hiking, rafting, etc). We’re new to NY, so would love some help. TIA!

Do you like camping? There is a glampsite near Beacon that will pick up you up from the train station (if you’re coming from NYC). They have kitchen and bathroom setups, cold beer and jugs of water so you don’t have to lug heavy liquids.
You should also look at Lenox MA. The town is charming and accessible to great hiking.
