Visit the New York Adirondack Museum in the fall to enjoy the Harvest Festival

New York’s Adirondack region is one of the largest areas of wilderness in the Eastern U.S. There is plenty to do for every outdoors enthusiast, from hiking over 2000 miles of trails, to fishing in one of 3000 lakes, to winter sports like skiing and snowmobiling, to visiting historic sites.

In addition to exploring the natural beauty of sites like Rainbow Falls, Hyde’s Cave, and Mystic Gorge, there are events, festivals, and fairs that can be found in all seasons. In the fall, enjoy family fun at the Adirondack Harvest Festival, at the Adirondack Museum. In winter, have fun at the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival, which has been taking place for over 100 years. If you’re an athlete, you may want to compete in the Empire State Games in early spring or the Lake Placid Marathon and Half in May. Summers in the Adirondacks are filled with horse shows, and the always popular Ironman USA competition in Lake Placid.

And whether you like to stay in the lap of luxury, or rough it at a cabin or campsite, there are plenty of choices for lodging in the Adirondacks. Let Guest Quest help you plan the perfect New York Getaway!
