5 Ways to Spring into Adventure in New York

|

When mapping out your next adventure in New York, you’re probably picturing something epic. From forests and mountains, to lakes and bays, and everything in between, the state of New York is a big place – and it’s exactly where you need to be when you’re ready to live big. Check out this ultimate adventure guide for awesome experiences in New York during the spring season, and all year long.

Get Out On the Water

Whether you’re an extreme kayaker, an underwater explorer, a surfer, or prefer to just kick back on the sand after a busy work week, Jones Beach State Park on Long Island is your go-to spot this season. Spanning 6.5 miles on the south side of Long Island, this is one of New York’s most popular beaches, and for good reason – it’s beautiful here. Stand up paddleboarding, surfing, and windsurfing are allowed along the beachfront around certain areas, and permits may be required for kayaking or canoeing. If you haven’t been yet, this is one awesome, must-see destination before the busy summer season hits.

Trek Up to Mountain Peaks

The McKenzie Mountain Wilderness is where you’ll find a seriously incredible area to explore when the snow fades away. With over 36,000 acres of tree-filled territory and plenty of mountain peaks, there’s so much to see here. The ultimate highlight of this destination is the journey to the top of Whiteface Mountain. Before or after your trek up to the top, be sure to check out High Falls Gorge for glass-floor walkways and flowing waterfalls.

Escape Into Nature

Sitting just off the Hudson River is The Constitution Marsh Trail, a beautifully other-worldly destination on our list. The Constitution Marsh Audubon Center and Sanctuary is a truly incredible place where you’ll be surrounded by nature at its absolute best – you might even see a bald eagle. Check out this peaceful destination to escape the city, and enjoy some bird-watching at this must-see spot on our adventure guide.

Scramble & Climb

Some say Mohonk Preserve is one of the best rock climbing areas in the Northeast United States. Whether you’re just doing some light rock scrambling along challenging hiking trails or actually gearing up and ascending vertically, you seriously can’t miss a trip to Mohonk Preserve this season.

Off-Road On ATVs

Speed through dense forest terrain, catch some in-air action, and kick up mud on an extreme off-roading adventure around upstate New York and the Lake George area. Check out Adirondack ATV Tours, and book an awesome adventure to really get your adrenaline going this spring.
