adirondack history - Erin Goes Everywhere

One of my favorite places in the Adirondacks for a calm, cozy, fall weekend is North Creek, New York. I’ve been coming to this part of the Adirondacks almost all my life and have seen it in every season. There’s plenty to pack into an autumn weekend, from hiking, biking, exploring, shopping, to enjoying a campfire or two. Fall is one of my favorite times to visit not only because of the fall foliage colors, but because the area has such a cozy, friendly, small-town feel that makes me feel right at home.

Fall is one of the best seasons in the Adirondacks, but also one of the busiest. It can be a headache trying to figure out where to stay, where to go, and where to eat when a million ADK recommendations are floating out there. That’s where my North Creek weekend guide comes in.

Here’s what I would tell you to do for a perfect fall Adirondack weekend in North Creek, New York.

We know National Parks have big welcome signs, and of course there are signs telling people when they drive into a new state across America. In Upstate New York, I look forward to seeing the iconic brown-and-yellow road signs welcoming drivers to the Adirondack Park; it’s the first sign that I’m one inch closer to my favorite places in New York State. There are dozens of “Entering Adirondack Park” signs, shaped like the park, and all the road signs throughout the park are also brown and yellow. I took a deep dive into the history of the road signs in the Adirondacks, how they came to be, and why they’re all brown and yellow.
