Some scenes and villages along the route are Pleasant Valley, Bowers Lake, Salt Point, Clinton Corners, Upton Lake Park, Willow Brook, Stanfordville, Stissing, Pine Plains, and Acram Lead mines. Also included is information on fishing and a list of the hotels, boarding houses and farm houses that are available to take summer boarders.
