Area Guide
The town of Roscoe calls itself "Trout Town, USA." The town is a destination for fly-fishing enthusiasts because of its location at the intersection of two rivers popular for trout fishing (the Beaver Kill and the Willowemoc Creek). Roscoe is just inside the Western boundary of Catskill Park and located within Sullivan County, which is part of the greater Hudson Valley area of New York State. The county borders Ulster County to the east, Delaware County in the north, Orange County to the south, and Pennsylvania's Wayne and Pike Counties to the west.
Sullivan has been a popular vacation spot since the 19th Century, with hiking, mountain climbing, fishing, boating, and other outdoor activities among the attractions. Sullivan County was the site of the 1969 Woodstock Festival located at the present-day Bethel Woods Center for the Arts. Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, which also includes a museum of the sixties and Woodstock, holds many concerts and other events throughout the year.
