Carve out some time for fun this fall
Saranac Lake, New York takes all of its seasons seriously, but the crisp, cool autumn air is what it's all about. The mountains, lakes, and rivers take on a different scene as hikers lace up their boots to take the mountains, fishermen and women ready their reels, and paddlers set out on the water. So whether you're coming for a day or a week, looking to get adventurous or simply relax, enjoy all the spectacle and sights that mean a spectacular fall in the Adirondack Mountains.
Just don't forgot to pack your camera and take a scenic drive through some of the most amazing fall foliage in the East!
