There are other things to do in Sullivan County aside from dropping your silver into one-armed bandits and watching horses run around in circles.<\/p>\n<p>For example, there are a number of parks, lakes, and places to play outside in the Monticello area and in Sullivan County. There&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/nysparks.com\/parks\/87\/details.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Lake Superior Park and Beach<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.villageofmonticello.com\/Parks.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">DeHoyos Park<\/a> right in the village (Google Image the park; there are some really lovely pictures online). And if you still want to see animals (not the kind pulling carts around a racetrack), there&#8217;s the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breezewayfarmpettingzoo.com\/animals.html\" target=\"_blank\">Breezeway Farm Petting Zoo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Or, you can head west about 10 miles and hit the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bethelwoodscenter.org\/museum.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Bethel Woods Performing Arts Center Museum<\/a>, which we&#8217;ve mentioned <a href=\"http:\/\/upstater.luminarymedia.com\/2012\/04\/18\/touring-upstate-new-york-by-motor-coach\/\" target=\"_blank\">recently and briefly<\/a> here on Upstater. The Center is a well-known venue in these parts, and we all know that Bethel was the site of the original Woodstock Music Festival. But the Center museum is also pretty groovy (sorry; couldn&#8217;t resist), and offers a comprehensive history of not only the mystique of the legendary festival, but of the 1960s itself.<\/p>\n<p>So if you&#8217;re in the Monticello\/Bethel\/Sullivan County area looking for something to do, make sure to check out a few of these places and save your quarters for the laundromat.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8858\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" ><a href=\"http:\/\/www.upperdelaware.com\/visitor\/activities\/02-08-08lakes.cfm\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-8858\" src=\"http:\/\/upstater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Lake-Superior-Bethel-520x354.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"520\" height=\"354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/upstater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Lake-Superior-Bethel-520x354.jpg 520w, https:\/\/upstater.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Lake-Superior-Bethel-200x136.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lake Superior Beach, Sullivan County<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While it seems like the obvious Sullivan County\/Monticello area destination to write about this week would be the Monticello Casino and Raceway, but devoting an entry to that seems like a cop-out.
