How To Spend The Perfect Fall Weekend In North Creek, NY

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.

Fall is short and best spent in the Adirondack Mountains surrounded by the changing red, orange, and golden leaves. There are over 100 towns located in the Adirondack Park, making it hard to choose just one to explore during the autumn season. Instead of spending hours reading guidebooks or sorting through Yelp reviews, I put together an Adirondack weekend guide so you can make the most of your fall weekend in New York State.

I’ve been traveling to the Adirondacks for years and love hiking these trails and supporting local businesses. There are tons of great peaks to hike for all levels of hikers. Plus, a lot of cute restaurants for a girls’ trip. I also love stopping by great breweries for a pint at the end of a long day exploring. Whether you want to hike High Peaks out by Lake Placid or take in fall foliage from a gondola ride in North Creek, there are a ton of great recommendations in this guide to help you enjoy your Adirondack autumn adventure.

5 Weekend Road Trips Under 5 Hours From NYC

My favorite trip is a road trip, but I have my limit on how much time I can spend in a car without losing my mind. Living right near New York City, I’m familiar with how frustrating traffic can get, especially when you’re trying to get out of town. (Hopefully, gas prices will start going down before I have to start driving this summer.) Luckily, there are so many great spots within a five-hour drive radius that make the headache of stop-and-starts so worth it. Here are five weekend road trips within a day’s drive from New York City that I would recommend bumping up on your list this summer.
