Adventures of Your
Wildest dreams

A lifetime of enjoying the God-breathed wonders of the Catskills is destined to be the best part of owning at Chapin. Thousands of forested acres blanketed by rippling lakes, rhythmic brooks and native wildlife such as white-tailed deer, beaver and nesting bald eagles are yours to explore any day, any season.

Into the Great Blue Yonder

With roughly 2,000 acres of freshwater lakes, the Chapin way of life presents myriad opportunities to immerse in the magic of water. Go stand-up paddle boarding. Ply the glassy waters on skis. Explore secret coves by canoe or kayak. Master the art of fly-fishing with an expert guide.

There’s No Playground Like Nature

A personal connection with our natural world is a Chapin promise. Discover what pure silence does for the soul. Look for white-tailed deer or nesting bald eagles. From hiking, to mountain biking, to snowshoeing, it’s all yours to enjoy any time of the year.

Snowshoeing

Snowshoeing provides a full-body workout in winter, and the backdrop and incredible views through Chapin’s 10+ miles of serene, snow-capped forests will take your breath away.
