A cascading
river and a
beautiful
lake inspire
life in
Cochecton.
Its Western
boundary is
formed by
the Delaware
River, which
is shared by
fishermen,
swimmers,
and canoers
alike. The
River is
traced by
scenic Route
97, on which
drivers must
take care
not to be
distracted
by eagles
soaring
overhead.
Near its
center lies
Lake
Huntington,
where
fishermen
can be found
in the
winter ice
fishing and
then get
warmed by a
home-cooked
meal or a
drink at
local
eateries. In
the summer,
one can also
overlook the
lake and its
boaters from
the deck of
the Nutshell
Arts Center.
Visitors to
the Center
can view
works by
area
artists,
many of whom
also exhibit
in New York
City, before
going
downstairs
to be
delighted by
internationally
distinguished
performers
in The
Weekend of
Chamber
Music
Series. Also
imported
from NYC
streets are
the annual
"City Games"
at the
Fosterdale
Motor Lodge.
Home grown
traditions
manifest in
country
stores, an
ice cream
parlor
displaying
Early
American
artifacts, a
railroad
station/museum,
and craft
exhibits at
Cochecton
Center's
annual
Founders
Day.
Cochecton is
also
accessible
from Routes
17B and 52.
The Town of
Chochecton
falls into
the
following
school
districts:
Sullivan
