The New York Outdoors

The six-million-acre Adirondack region is a protected area that occupies one-fifth of the state. With an RV rental in New York, you can drive for miles on the stunning Seaway Trail, a National Scenic Byway. The Adirondack region is also known for its miles of rivers, streams, and lakes. Rent a kayak and paddle on the Hudson River or along the calm waters of Lake Placid. On dry land, you can go for an unforgettable hike through a gorge at Whetstone Gulf State Park. There are several places to go camping in the Adirondacks, including RV parks and state park RV campgrounds.A local favorite is Harriman State Park, which is located just 30 miles from New York City, between Bear Mountain State Park, the Hudson River, and Ringwood State Park in New Jersey. The park is a hiker’s dream, with over 200 miles of hiking trails, but it’s also popular for swimming and camping. Here you can sunbathe on public beaches at Lake Tiorati and Lake Welch or visit in the fall to enjoy the rich forest hues.A unique place dubbed the "Grand Canyon of the East" is Letchworth State Park. In the state's northwestern region, the park offers swimming and whitewater rafting on the Genesee River as well as guided walks and horseback riding. There’s even the opportunity to see the park from the basket of a hot air balloon. During the winter, visitors can take advantage of the snow. Cross-country skiing, snow tubing, and snowmobiling are all possible at Letchworth State Park. It’s a must-see spot while you’re in New York. RV parks are located less than 20 minutes' drive away on Route 36, and there are over 200 campsites available within the park.Another highlight of the state is Taughannock Falls State Park in New York’s Finger Lakes Region. The park is famous for its 215-foot-high waterfall, but it also offers fantastic viewpoints, gorge hikes, and recreational activities on the Cayuga Lake shoreline. The North Rim Trail and Gorge Trail are two of the park’s most popular hiking routes. Finger Lake Region campgrounds are abundant. There are RV campsites in Taughannock Falls State Park and in other neighboring state parks, such as Robert H. Treman State Park and Buttermilk Falls State Park.
