New York and its natural wonders
New York, in addition to its iconic skyscrapers, is very famous for its lively urban life and its emblematic tourist sites. But it is important to note that it is also home to an impressive number of natural wonders. The truth is that in addition to being the city of lights, the state offers natural reserves that provide a well-deserved respite for those who wish to escape the urban chaos
The Adirondack Park
This park is in upstate New York and represents a vast sanctuary of tranquility. Spanning more than six million acres, the Adirondack region features rich natural diversity, with more than 3,000 lakes, 30,000 miles of rivers and streams, and a wide range of habitats, including globally unique wetlands and old-growth forests. Here, the pace of life slows down, offering visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in a haven of serenity. New York State owns approximately 44% of the land within the Park, while the remainder is private property used primarily for forestry, agriculture, and outdoor recreation. Outdoor activities are varied and range from hiking in the mountains to camping next to peaceful lakes. In winter, the Adirondack Park becomes a paradise for ski fans. To identify and protect natural resources, all parcels of land, both public and private, are classified on maps that outline land use and development.
Catskill Park
The park is in the southeast of New York and is truly a paradise for those who love nature. With more than 700,000 acres of pristine landscape, this destination offers countless opportunities to enjoy unparalleled natural beauty.
In addition to its lush forests and hiking trails, Catskill Park features impressive waterfalls, including Kaaterskill Falls, one of the highest in the state.
Finger Lakes
This is an ideal destination for those who enjoy lakes and picturesque hills. With long, narrow lakes surrounded by lush forests, vineyards and charming villages, this area offers a perfect combination of natural beauty and cultural attractions.
Eleven pristine freshwater lakes stretch like fingers across this region. According to Native American legend, these lakes are the result of the Great Spirit’s blessing with his own hands, a legacy reflected in their names: Skaneateles, Otisco, Owasco, Cayuga, Seneca, Keuka, Canandaigua, Honeoye, Canadice, Conesus and Hemlock.
The region has many smaller lakes, ponds, and tributaries that offer a variety of water activities, including fishing, swimming, boating, kayaking, and many other options.
Another must-see activity is the New York Wine and Culinary Center in Canandaigua, nor the original location of Dinosaur BBQ in Syracuse. The Finger Lakes region is famous for its culinary delights, from grape pies to junk food dishes to Ithaca ice cream (home of the original sundae). Additionally, farmers markets with fresh produce are found along the road and at several farms and artisan markets.
Hudson River Valley
Just a short drive from bustling New York City, the Hudson River Valley offers a stunning retreat from urban life. Here visitors will find a truly wonderful region.
This region is home to numerous parks and nature preserves along the Hudson River, including Bear Mountain State Park. This state park is surrounded by lush forests and is the ideal destination for a nature getaway. With more than 295 kilometers of this green ecosystem, the park offers hiking trails, serene lakes, a small zoo, an inn, and much more. Mountain sports enthusiasts will find here a perfect destination for activities such as climbing, hiking and, during winter, skiing or snowboarding.
This site becomes the ideal place to enjoy walks in the middle of nature, explore hidden waterfalls and marvel at the panoramic views that this region has to offer.
Additionally, there is the opportunity to visit the Mohonk Mountain House, a majestic Victorian-era building that has been owned by different families since 1869. This charming hotel is located on the shores of a stunning artificial lake with crystal-clear waters.
Not only does the Hudson Valley offer miles of forests, trails, and historic buildings, it’s also home to charming towns, sometimes with a touch of mystery. In Rhinebeck, for example, you can enjoy cider in the taproom of the Beekman Arms-Delamater Inn, the country’s oldest operating hotel, which is one of its main attractions. Plus, you can participate in the annual Sheep Wool Festival or shop for seasonal clothing at their Pendleton store.
