RoxburyRoxbury, New York

One night is enough: see the historic station, sleep at the quirky Roxbury motel, then move on. A day-trip from the Catskills works if you're driving.

Not yet checkedSourcesWhat these labels mean

Roxbury is a small town at the eastern edge of Delaware County, best known for a single eccentric hotel and a disused 1872 train station. Most visitors come for one night as a novelty stop between the Catskills and the Hudson Valley. There's no major attraction beyond the station and the motel itself.

  • North America ↗Crossing between the US, Canada and Mexico by land needs your passport even on a day trip; rental cars need the company's written permission to cross, and most US and Canadian rental insurance stops at the Mexican border.
  • North America ↗Cannabis is legal in Canada and in many US states, but taking any amount across the US, Canadian or Mexican border is a federal crime — including edibles and vapes.
  • North America ↗The busiest US and Canadian national parks need timed-entry, campsite or lodge reservations in summer; release dates are months ahead.
  • United States ↗Check whether you need an ESTA (Visa Waiver Program) or a visa on the official CBP and State Department sites; apply only through esta.cbp.dhs.gov, not third-party sites, and allow time before you book.
  • United States ↗Several popular national parks use timed-entry or vehicle reservations in peak season; check each park's page on nps.gov and book on recreation.gov before fixing your dates.
  • United States ↗Medical care is very expensive for visitors; buy travel insurance with high medical cover before you fly.
  • United States ↗Tipping is expected: about 15–20% at sit-down restaurants and bars, and a tip for taxis, hotel staff and guides.

Watch out

Safety

Very safe. The main risks are driving on narrow, winding roads in winter and limited cell coverage. Carry a paper map or offline GPS.
  • The Roxbury books out weeks ahead in summer and fall — reserve early.
  • No grocery store or pharmacy in town; stock up in Stamford or Kingston.
  • Cell service can be spotty; download maps offline.
