Embrace the elements and a world of outdoor adventure in New York State. Magnificent natural landscapes span the Adirondack Mountains to the Finger Lakes to the pristine beaches of Long Island, and New York offers an unparalleled range of outdoor activities in these stunning settings.

Hike to a waterfall in the Hudson Valley, raft through class V rapids in the Adirondacks, glide through glacial lakes in a crystal kayak, sail the waves of Lake Ontario, fish for salmon in the Salmon River, or cycle across 750 miles of trails on the Empire State Trail. And in the winter months, ski or snowboard some of the best terrain in the nation, or snowmobile through wide-open trails in the Catskills. There is an adventure for everyone in New York, so pack a bag, grab a friend, and point your compass toward the Empire State (just remember to recreate responsibly).

Opt outside and dare to adventure!
