The best pizza I’ve had in the area. They’re only open Friday-Sunday and it’s 45 minutes from Athens but so worth the drive. It’s a pretty drive and close to the Hillsdale Copake Farmers Market and Bishbash Falls.

Located in a super unlikely spot, on your right side over the bridge right before the traffic circle. Once you turn right down the driveway you feel transported. Good wine and vegan and non vegan cheese and snacks to pair with your wine.

There are two parking lots and trail heads. The NY side is longer but not as steep and if you go further to the MA parking lot, the trail goes down right to the falls. It’s a beautiful ride there and a fun day adventure.
