If you are already planning an Adirondack trip, extend your getaway or plan a second round of autumn adventures in the Lake Champlain Region! 🍂🌊
Due to its location along the lake and milder temperatures, the leaves change later and hit peak later than the higher elevation areas of the Adirondack Mountains, meaning you do not have to rush your foliage plans. You can keep the autumn festivities going right along the coast.
Here are some of the best ways to enjoy the scenic fall and water views:
Up for a hike? Explore Champlain Area Trails with family friendly trails winding directly through forests, farms, fields, and wetlands for dazzling autumn color.
Bring the bike: Ride the Adirondack Coast Bikeways themed loops for exceptional landscape views along the coastal routes.
Scenic drives: Cruise along Route 9N for stunning foliage views right along the coast paired with rolling farmland vistas you will not see elsewhere in the Adirondacks.
Harvest & History: Round out your trip back in town with farm to table food experiences, autumn events like the Adirondack Harvest Festival or Fort Ticonderoga’s Heritage, Harvest & Horse Festival, and Revolutionary War historic sites.
📌 Save this post to plan your late season fall road trip!
