Ulster is a hub of commerce featuring hundreds of stores, national chains and locally owned, situated in malls, strip plazas, and standalone buildings. We feature a wide variety of eateries from fast food to fine dining, and are home to several top notch medical facilities. We host the area's only airport.
Nestled between the Hudson River and the Catskill Mountains, our town offers the breathtaking vistas and outdoor activities you would expect. Our access to the Esopus Creek, Rondout Creek, Sawkill Creek, and Lake Katrine, make it a boater and kayaker's paradise.
