Fall In The Adirondacks
Autumn in Tupper Lake is filled with changing colors, pristine waterways, and crisp weather.
Here are some ways to take in all this natural beauty:
- Walk the Wild Walk at The Wild Center to gain a cool perspective above the tree line.
- Paddle the Raquette River and take in the reflection of the leaves on the water.
- Hike a mountain and see the canvas of changing leaves below you. Conquer the Tupper Lake Triad in the fall for a different perspective.
- Fall is one of the most scenic times to play 18 holes at The Tupper Lake Golf Club, nestled charmingly among the changing trees.
