The Town of Dover is a welcome destination for hikers, bikers and weekend sightseers who enjoy breathtaking vistas and nature enthusiasts to fish for their own “catch of the day” in the trout-stocked Ten Mile River. Dover’s history is steeped in hospitality- from General Washington’s war-time visits to Wingdale to the cattle drovers’ lodging at the former Old Drovers Inn in Dover Plains. Nowadays, Dover’s hospitality thrives in the restaurants, small businesses and community-caring character of its native and new residents. The impending development of a new residential community called “Dover Knolls” in Wingdale will soon create new recreational, cultural and shopping venues for residents and visitors to enjoy.

A day trip to Dover is not complete without a visit to the infamous “Stone Church”- a moderate-level one-mile walk from parking off Route 22 to an ancient rock grotto in the shape of a church’s cathedral window. Natural spring wells above the cavern create an awe-inspiring waterfall through the entrance that becomes the Stone Church Brook that flows to the Ten Mile River. Every “season” of visits to the Stone Church makes for a picture-perfect and memorable occasion. To enjoy your visit, be sure to wear water-tight shoes or boots and tick-resistant clothing.

For more information about the Town of Dover and the Dover Stone Church preserve, please visit the Town’s website at http:/townofdoverny.us. We cordially invite you to visit and let us extend our legendary hospitality- what we call the-“Dover Difference.” A day trip to explore Dover’s rich history, scenic beauty and warm hospitality is a special memory in the making.
