A single tree shows fall color amid a forest of green trees along a road and shallow pond.

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 treeline and meet a Troll or two! 

  • 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.
