The Adirondacks is breathtaking, to put it modestly. This New York region is filled with high peak mountains, sparkling and tranquil lakes and rivers, historic sites, ski resorts, and many more monumental sites.

There are so many ways to enjoy the beauty of this land; boat tour, seaplane ride, fly-in fishing trips, campgrounds, and hiking and biking trails. Come see the natural wonders of this upstate New York area.

Wild and civilized by turns, the Adirondacks are an immense blue and green space in which to relax, play and plot an adventure.

The Adirondack Region of Northern New York includes the 6 million-acre Adirondack Park, surrounding countryside and the entire western shore of Lake Champlain. The region is best known for its mountains, but villages, farms, museums, restaurants, artisan shops and a wide variety of accommodations also characterize the Adirondacks.

Today, with average temperatures topping off at 69 degrees in July and 67 degrees in August, the lands and waterways of the Adirondacks are an outdoor-lover’s paradise. Visitors enjoy boating, horseback riding, hiking/mountaineering, hunting, fishing, swimming. When the snow falls, other recreations replace those restricted by warmer weather, such as downhill and cross-country skiing, ice skating, ice boating and snowmobiling. The climate is so perfect for these activities that Lake Placid has hosted the Olympic Winter Games twice.
