Adirondack Wild - Experience Hamilton County, NY
Spring Returns to the Adirondack Wild of Northern New York
Spring in the Adirondack Wild of Hamilton County begins with the trilling call of boreal birds returning to their spring nesting grounds. The changing season is richly scented with the fragrance of a forest waking up from winter, of melting snow and the rush of merging brooks and streams.
Head into the wilderness and experience the Adirondacks as early summer settles into the region. Make camp at one of the many Hamilton County campgrounds located along the Adirondack's lakes, rivers and streams, and revel in the breathtaking beauty and serenity found in untouched nature. Enjoy bird watching as boreal birds return to nesting grounds tucked away in the mountains and watch for spotted fawns, beaver and river otters. In June, join bird watchers from around the county during the 9th annual Adirondack Boreal Birding Festival and participate in three days of guided hikes, canoe trips, safaris and seminars on birding.
Whitewater Rafting on the Hudson River
The Hudson River Gorge flows through Hamilton County, offering a thrilling whitewater rafting trip in any season, and especially in the spring when melting snow and ice create raging torrents of Class IV and V rapids. Experience the Adirondacks’ big water season this spring and tackle some of the best whitewater east of the Rockies.
This summer is the first Adirondack Challenge, an annual whitewater rafting and flatwater event brought together by NY Governor Andrew Cuomo. From July 12th through the 21st there will be events, races, music, demonstrations & more celebrating the Adirondacks. There is no better time to experience the thrill of whitewater rafting, and have fun in the Adirondack Wild!
