Everything is better with goats. (It’s true) Designed for people who love being active, out in nature and love animals! Come hike with our herd of rescued goats on beautiful forest trails in a remote part of the Catskills, under 2 hours from Manhattan.
You’ll become part of the herd when we start on a 2.5 mile hike on meandering paths and over beautiful streams, enjoying the wildlife and scenery while we forage for some of the goat’s favorite treats, like leaves, acorns and pine branches. Watching the goats in a natural habitat and bonding with them is truly magical. The hike takes 1.5 – 2 hrs, depending on group pace and extra time is spent meeting our other herd of smaller breed goats.

Coyote Island LIVE
2026-04-04 19:00 - 23:30 | The Lemon Squeeze, 107 Main St, New Paltz, NY, 12561, United States
Coyote Island is the musical vision of Maine-based producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Mike O’Hehir. Assembling a band of brothers, they have blended folk roots, reggae rhythms, and psychedelic indie, the band crafts music that feels like a sonic escape.
From their breakout release “Here Before” to their latest album, Shadow Magic (2025), they’ve expanded their sound into deeper grooves and vivid storytelling—melding tropical textures, hypnotic beats, and a spirit of reflection. Described as both electric and transportive, Coyote Island’s live shows offer tropical psychedelia and a sonic vacation from the doldrums of existence.
