The Dharma Drum Retreat Center is located off of Rt. 52 in Pine Bush, NY at 184 Quannacut Road. If you or your group would like to visit and tour our retreat center, please email us at ddrc@dharmadrumretreat.org or call (845)744-8114 to schedule a visit. When there is an ongoing retreat, an appointment is required for a visit, except to attend regularly scheduled activities (e.g. Thursday Evening Meditation).

Driving Directions:

From Newburgh and points East:

Take Rt. 52 West through the town center of Pine Bush. You will see a traffic light (second traffic light after Route 302) about 2.5 mile past the town center; at the light, turn right onto Quannacut Road. After 0.8 mile, you will pass 2 stone pillars; the first house on the right is the Reception Hall.

From Middletown and points South:

Take Rt. 17 West to Rt. 302 North. Turn left at Rt. 52 and follow directions above.

From New Paltz and Points North East:

Take Rt. 299 north to Rt. 7 South. Turn right at Rt. 52 and follow directions above.

From Ellenville or points North:

Take Rt. 209 South to Rt. 52 East. Quannacut Road is on the left, after Oregon Trail Rd.

From New York:

We are about ninety miles northwest of Manhattan. One can cross the George Washington Bridge and take the Palisades Parkway north to the NY Thruway (Route 87), or directly take the NY Thruway North from the Triboro Bridge. Exit the NY Thruway at Exit 16 (not 15 or 15A) onto Route 17 toward Harriman (Middletown). About 20 miles later, exit North (Exit 119) onto Highway 302 to Pine Bush. After about 15 miles turn left at the light, onto Route 52. You will see a traffic light (second traffic light after Route 302) about 2.5 mile past the town center; at the light, turn right onto Quannacut Road. After 0.8 mile, you will pass 2 stone pillars; the first house on the right is the Reception Hall.

Public Transportation:

There are buses and trains serving New York City and Middletown, NY, which is about 15 miles from the Retreat Center. From Middletown, you can hire a taxi to the Retreat Center. When major retreats are held, we will try to arrange for a pick-up at the Middletown train station on the day the retreat is held (fixed schedule, to be announced in the acceptance letter). Click here for more information on public transportation.

For retreats with a large number of participants (normally the 10-Day Intensive Retreats), we may arrange for a bus to take people to the Retreat Center from the Chan Meditation Center in Queens, New York. Such an option, when available, is indicated in the online application form. The fee for this transport arrangement will also be shown on the form. If the online application form does not show this option, it is not provided.
