Vernon delivers four seasons on your doorstep and a pace that balances adventure with everyday comfort. Skiers and riders carve turns at Mountain Creek Resort, which flips to ziplining and a destination waterpark once the snow melts. Hikers and photographers savor the boardwalk-and-wetlands drama of the Pochuck Boardwalk section of the Appalachian Trail. For bigger backcountry days, Wawayanda State Park offers miles of forested trails and quiet lakes, while paddlers and birders find serene escapes at the Wallkill River National Wildlife Refuge. Golfers and spa-goers gravitate to Crystal Springs Resort, home to award-winning courses, dining, and events. Come autumn, the Great Pumpkin Festival at Heaven Hill Farm becomes a family tradition.
Families appreciate the strong local schools. Vernon Township Public Schools supports students with robust academics, arts, and athletics, plus programs that make the most of the area’s natural assets. Housing runs the gamut—from lake communities and wooded acreages to low-maintenance townhomes near resort amenities—giving first-time buyers and move-up households plenty of options. Everyday conveniences line local corridors, and weekend itineraries practically plan themselves, whether that means a chairlift ride, a trail day, or fresh cider donuts.
