Shop for antiques at Country Gallery and Acorn Antique's Craftsman's Gallery on Route 214 off Main Street, or visit Phoenicia Antique Center , the largest in the Catskills. Try A Divine Idea for gifts, jewelry and books. Morne Imports has almost everything you could think of. Between Kirk's Corner Market and the Nest Egg Country Store , you can stock up on edible supplies, for a snack or a week-long camping excursion. But really, Phoenicia is about exploring the great outdoors.
Tubing is the most popular activity in town.
The Esopus Creek follows Route 28 and winds through the bottom of town. There's a quiet, calm section for family fun and a relaxing view, and a wilder section with rapids and whitewater for the more adventurous tubers, for a total of five miles of tubing pleasure. Each section takes about two hours to tube. Horseback riding Indian paths and old logging trails in the beautiful Catskill Forest Preserve is also a pleasant past time. The Saddle up Ranch , on Kinsey Street off Route 28, offers year-round riding daily.
