Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Catskill Park, Rockland's residents value their country life and the area's ecology. Roscoe is located where the Beaverkill and Willowemoc rivers meet at Junction Pool, and where trout meet their destiny, which is why it's known as "Trout Town USA". The history of these encounters is enshrined in the Catskill Fly Fishing Center and Museum in Livingston Manor, bordering a 50-acre site ideal for walks and picnics.

Mongaup State Park and Beaverkill State Park are both located in Rockland and are open for the public's enjoyment of camping, hunting, fishing and other recreational activities including snowmobiling in the winter on maintained trails.

Rockland is an easy commute from the hub of the county, while providing residents with a great value. School districts are of a size where students receive individual attention. Being located on New York State Route 17 (future Interstate 86) gives residents easy access to other areas for business or pleasure.
