Putnam County

Just a short drive north of New York City, sitting on the eastern bank of the Hudson River you'll find Putnam County. There are endless things to do whether you're looking for family fun, holding a conference, taking a group tour or just want a short getaway. Putnam County, from its eastern borders teeming with lakes and farmland, charming villages and protected heritage sites, to its western shoreline on the Hudson River, is a jewel among the Empire State's counties.
