Are you planning on visiting the Adirondack Mountains in New York? One fact you might not know about the Adironacks is that they are actually growing faster than the Himalayas, at a rate of one foot for every hundred years. If that seems slow, just think about how long it took for the entire mountain range to build up! The Adirondack Mountains are about five million years old. Here are three things you might enjoy while staying in an Adirondack rental by owner property.
1. Hunting and Fishing
The area is home to many species that can be taken with proper permission. Because the game is closely regulated, most populations are still healthy and have not experienced the overhunting that has occurred in other areas of the U.S. Tuna and Bass are popular fish catches, while everything from waterfowl to deer makes for a good catch during hunting season.
2. Canoeing and Kayaking
Did you know that there are over 30,000 miles of rivers in the Adirondack region? Canoeing and kayaking are not only fun, but can be an adventurous way to explore the great outdoors, and even a way to stop by popular riverside restaurants during the summer. Some Adirondack rental by owner properties located near waterways will even provide equipment for you to use!
3. Wine Tours
Is there a better way to relax on vacation than trying great wine? New York state is known for its excellent wine tours, and there are multiple options available in the Adirondack region. The Adironack Winery at Lake George, for example, features 35 award winning wines. You can enjoy a wine tasting session and even get a complementary wine glass. Trying to save money? Have a wine and cheese picnic in the backyard of your Adirondack rentals by owner property.
