Jeffersonville is officially “on the move”! From our healthy living and wellness initiatives to our ever growing Main Street, excitement is in the air.

Jeffersonville has got it all. Our quaint village is surrounded by rolling hills, great for bikers/cyclists, runners, and those who like a stream or lakeside stroll. Lake Jefferson is not only a picturesque landscape scene but a great place to explore via canoe or kayak, with folklore describing snapping turtles big enough to tip your boat!

The Mill Pond and Callicoon Creek run straight through the village and provide a wonderful and safe spot for children to explore and learn about our local eco-system. The local elementary school uses the Callicoon Creek as a playground and live natural classroom for their annual trout release.

Jeffersonville host several events each year, all meant to get families involved in hands on, fun, and healthy experiences. The 5K Maple Run in the spring invites people of all ages to challenge themselves and each other to a 3.1 mile run around the lake. Oktoberfest invites participants to compete in several physical feats, tug of war, boating contests and races down Main Street. The duck race gets all of our kids right into the action, corralling, chasing, and catching the rubber ducks as they make their way down the creek.

The Backyard Park has become an oasis on a quiet day and the go to spot for fun and festivals. With the recycled art, beautiful landscaping, accessible tables, concession and bathrooms, this little slice of the Village has hosted some of our best Village get togethers. The location has been perfect for the summer outdoor movie nights, weekend live music, yoga in the park, children’s birthday parties, and most recently, lively games of soccer-pool and horse shoes!

Only a short distance from the Delaware, Bethel Woods, the Catskill Mountain Reserve, many lakes, ponds and rivers, hiking trails and wonderful wilderness opportunities, the Villiage of Jeffersonville is healthy living at its best. From music to art, physical fitness to gardening, we really do have it all.
