Autumn in the Adirondacks

Autumn in the Adirondacks

OLD FORGE, NY – The Adirondacks are synonymous with breathtaking views and those views really brighten up with the introduction of Autumn colors. The Adirondacks and Old Forge have long been renowned for their stunning mountain scenery and bright fall foliage this time of year, making it a prime travel and tourist destination. Activities include hiking, camping, boating, kayaking & canoeing, sightseeing, and more.  According to I Love NY’s official Fall Foliage Report, Old Forge is at Peak with 90% change. Colors which have been muted are now popping. Reds, golds and bright amber are dominant, with yellow and orange beginning to burst. Many trees are just beginning to change, so with minimum rain and wind the foliage season should extend through mid-October.

This fall, Old Forge is the destination for an array of exciting events. From vibrant autumn activities to spooky Halloween festivities, there’s something for everyone.
