Outdoor Adventures

Embrace the elements and a world of outdoor adventure in stunning New York State settings. In the winter months, snowmobile through wide-open trails and ski or snowboard on some of the best terrain in the nation from Whiteface to Holiday Valley, where you can ride a thrilling mountain coaster down through the woods. Ride a bike on the ice at Canalside in Buffalo, mush across the ice with Thunder Mountain Dog Sled Tours in Lake Placid, and get hooked on ice fishing at Lake Cayuga or Lake Ontario.

In the warmer months, hike to a waterfall in the Hudson Valley, raft through class V rapids in the Adirondacks, glide through glacial lakes in a crystal kayak, or cycle across 750 miles of trails on the Empire State Trail. No matter the season, there is an adventure for everyone in New York, of every ability, so pack a bag, grab a friend, and point your compass toward the Empire State (just remember to recreate responsibly).
