Popular Orange County Splash Pad Reopens For 2026 Season

Summer in the Hudson Valley is the perfect time to enjoy the fresh outdoors, attend local events and more. We can check out hiking trails, festivals and all that the community has to offer.

Summer is my favorite season, I love the warmer weather and sunshine! As a kid, I loved running through the sprinkler and want to do it again as an adult.

It’s always nice to cool off in pools and local beaches. If we want to switch things up, we can also explore lakes and even splash pads within the Hudson Valley.

What Else Can We Do In The Port Jervis, NY Area?

After having fun and cooling off at the City of Port Jervis’s splash pad, be sure to check out other activities in the area.

I visited the Tri-States Monument which is the point where three states come together. It’s incredible to stand in one place while taking in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania! Also, we can take a drive on one of my favorite roads in the Hudson Valley.

Especially during this time of year, I recommend taking a cruise on the Hawks Nest. There are beautiful views of the area and the Delaware River. There are local eateries to visit in the Port Jervis area including Fox n Hare Brewing Company and Ben’s Fresh.

Enjoy all of the fun, outdoor activities in the Hudson Valley this summer, cheers!

Eat Your Way Through The Hudson Valley With The Best Ice Cream

I have always enjoyed stopping by my favorite local ice cream shops and choosing a new flavor. Whether it's a hot fudge sundae, chocolate peanut butter ice cream in a cone, or an ice cream sandwich, count me in.

The Hudson Valley has strange ice cream flavors. From lemon poppyseed to thai iced tea and barn boots, there aren't any boring flavors in our area.

A 'Premiere' Hudson Valley treat shop was expanding their space during the winter months to prepare for a busy summer season.

Thankfully, we have a large selection of local ice cream shops to visit in the Hudson Valley.
