Mohonk Mountain House, NY

Late Spring through Early Fall

The best times to visit Mohonk Mountain House in New Paltz, New York, are late spring (mid-May to early June) and early fall (September to mid-October). These shoulder seasons offer mild weather (50s–70s°F), ideal for hiking the Shawangunk Ridge’s scenic trails, kayaking on Lake Mohonk, or relaxing at the spa. Spring showcases blooming wildflowers and gardens, while fall brings vibrant foliage and events like the Fall Harvest Festival, with fewer crowds than summer. Summer (July–August) is warm (70s–80s°F) and humid, perfect for lake activities and family-friendly programs, but it’s busier and pricier. Winter (December–February) is cooler (20s–50s°F) with festive holiday decor, ice skating, and cozy indoor activities like afternoon tea, ideal for seniors, though outdoor trails may be snowy or icy. Early December is especially charming with holiday events and milder temps.
