Adirondacks
You're likely to like the Adirondack area of northern New York whether you enjoy outdoor activities, sports history, or simply stunning landscape. The Adirondacks, which are located around 290 miles north of New York City, 250 miles northwest of Boston, and 110 miles south of Montreal, provide a pleasant respite from the region's busy cities.
Visitors may take part in a variety of outdoor sports throughout the winter, such as skiing, snowshoeing, bobsledding, and dogsledding. Travelers may enjoy bicycling, fishing, hiking, canoeing, and whitewater rafting once summer arrives. The more than 6 million acres distributed across 12 areas ensure that you always have your pick of breathtaking landscapes to explore, including Lake Placid, Saranac Lake, and Tupper Lake.
You're in luck if you want to take a break from the Adirondacks' outdoor activities since this hilly region also has a ton of historical artifacts. Visitors may experience everything Olympic in Lake Placid by visiting the Olympic Sports Complex, the Olympic Jumping Complex, and the Lake Placid Olympic Museum. The burial and former house of abolitionist John Brown is located at John Brown Farm State Historic Site, in case sports history isn't your thing.
