FALL

The sweet smell of autumn embraces the air.  Crisp colors, brilliant foliage.  The season is simply not to be missed.  Leaf peepers venture on our scenic byways.  Pick a hike, Fall's cool temperatures make it ideal for a wilderness experience. Check the leaf peeping schedule to embrace the

vibrancy of the fall colors.   Pack a picnic for Buttermilk Falls, hike up Owl's Head, visit our musems, take in a show or paddle the Raquette River.  Seaplane rides, boat cruises, bike rides, hiking, camping you name it. We welcome visitors all year long.

    • 90 Miler:

      The second day of this paddling event kicks off at Endion on September 10th. Pick a spot at the Long Lake Bridge to watch as the parade of atheletes paddle down Long Lake. The athletes race year after year in this competition of strength and endurance. Blistered hands, focused minds, sychronized paddling are all in evidence as the race kicks off. Paddlers escort their canoes through brush and bushes to launch beach side. The horn is sounded and the race is off.

    • The Great Drive & Leaf Peeping:

      September is perhaps the most picturesque month of the year. The maples, beeches and other hardwoods close out the season, not with a whimper, but with a blaze of glory. Reds, yellows, oranges and other various shades mix with the greens of the pines, spruce and balsam to present the visitor and resident alike eye pleasing vistas. While other areas boast of the vibrant colors, the Adirondacks actually have them. Peak color in the Long Lake and Raquette Lake area is generally a little earlier than many other areas with mid September into early October presenting the visitor with the most color.
