Attractions Of The State Of New York

The state of New York is home to many unique attractions. It is full of small towns, farmland and beautiful scenery scattered over 11 different regions.

The Central-Leatherstocking region of New York is rich in history and beautiful landscapes. Both the Farmers' Museum in Cooperstown and the Baseball Hall of Fame are located there. You can learn the art and history of beer making on a tour of Saranac Brewery in Utica. For something completely different, you can visit Howe Caverns or Secret Caverns and see incredible underground stone formations. The world's smallest church is in Oneida. Don't miss the Cherry Valley Museum with its selection of 17th and 18th Century clothing.

The Adirondack region contains thousands of lakes, ponds, and hiking trails. You can hike along the Ausable Chasm or go fishing in the Ausable River. You can explore a remote wilderness area with a guide. You can also visit the Black River for rafting and Lake Champlain for swimming. Lake George features water sports, as well as the 36 foot tall statue of Uncle Sam.

The Chautauqua-Allegheny region has many well-preserved Victorian homes. You'll also find in this area the Panama Rocks and the 1891 Fredonia Opera House. Jamestown is Lucille Ball's hometown. It has a museum full of memories from her and Desi Arnaz's life together.

The Capital-Saratoga region is noted for the historic Capitol in Albany, as well as covered bridges, woodlands, farms, or church steeples against a bright blue sky. In Albany you can see Nipper, the giant dog sculpture that is the trademark for RCA. You can visit Schenectady's Stockade, a Dutch Village settled some 300 years ago.

Waterfalls, mountains, forests, and streams are all part of the Catskills region. Bethel, home of the 1969 Woodstock Music and Arts Festival, now host a variety of musical events each summer. There is also the world's largest kaleidoscope, Catskill Game Farm, Zoom Flume Water Park and a number of European-style wineries.

The Finger Lakes offers the great outdoors, wonderful heritage tours, and unlimited opportunities to feed the mind, body and spirit. The George Eastman house and the Sciencenter are just two of the region's attractions.

Everyone, especially honeymooners, has heard about Niagara Falls. Other attractions in the Greater Niagara region include Six Flags Darien Lake Theme Park, Letchworth State Park, and the Metrorail system in downtown Buffalo. You can also visit the Jell-O museum in LeRoy.

The Hudson River region features President Franklin Roosevelt's estate in Hyde Park. Newburgh is the site of General George Washington's headquarters. The restaurants in the area are legendary, as is Hudson Valley wine. The beauty of the region has inspired artists for hundreds of years, as well as such writers as Thomas Jefferson.

The Long Island region has 118 mile of beaches. At its eastern tip is the historic Montauk Lighthouse, commissioned by George Washington. You can camp nearby on the beach at Hither Hills State Park and get up early to watch the beautiful sunrise. The island is steeped maritime heritage and features national laboratory science museum and others, zoos, and working farms.

The Thousand Islands region features nearly 2,000 islands. There you can enjoy power boating, sailing, whitewater rafting, fishing, golfing, tennis and hiking. Boldt Castle is set on an island fashioned into the shape of a heart and is a monument to a real-life love story.

Suggestions for touring the Finger Lakes area?

I'm planning a long weekend to the Finger Lakes area in July. We are definately planning on a "side trip" to Cooperstown. However, I have never been to the Finger Lakes and have only heard that it's beautiful. For those who have been there before, can you give me some suggestions? I'm an outdoorsey type who likes nature hikes, the water, museums, antique shops, etc. - if that helps. Recommendations for hotel/B&B accomodations would be great, too. Thank you!

There's so much to do, I don't know where to start!

There are wineries all around the lakes - Keuka and Seneca have lots of them.

Along the lakes are little "gorges" carved out by the streams that drain into the lake, and you can hike back into these - unofficially, of course! [Bring bug repellent and wear sneakers - the slate is slippery.]

Ithaca is a cute town, as is Watkins Glen [a huge gorge there to hike in - officially! - also racing, there may still be an outfit that lets you ride in a race car - not sure about that], Hammondsport, and many of the other small towns on the lakes. If you want to go as far as Canandaigua, there are some nice restaurants and inns, etc, there [and Naples, at the south end, is another cute town], as well as the NY Wine & Culinary Center. Geneva is another town [N end of Seneca] that has nice inns and restaurants; nearby is the Waterloo Premium Outlets, if you're into that.

You can bike or hike along the Erie Canal path. There's a nice bike/hike path between Penn Yan [Keuka Lake] and Dresden [Seneca Lake].

I think Keuka is the most beautiful of the Finger Lakes. There's a really nice inn - Esperanza Mansion [not the motel rooms, though they looked nice enough] and the restaurant is outstanding though expensive] - the view is stunning. On Saturdays, in Dundee, they have the Windmill market - all kinds of crafts and foods. There's also the "Keuka Maid" boat [in Hammondsport], as well as one at Esperanza, and one at the Viking Resort [the Viking Spirit - though there was some talk that it was going out of service], halfway between PY and H'port.

You could see whether your newsstand has copies of "Finger Lakes Magazine" - it's chock full of info. Or go to the website LifeintheFingerLakes.com for the mag's content. Also: exploretheFingerLakes.com. Do a search on "Finger Lakes" and I'm sure you'll get more info than you can handle!

Good luck in your search for info - I know you'll find lots to do. Have a great trip!

Cooperstown $13.99 An exceptional debut novel lovingly probes the values of faith, family, community, and America's favorite pastime, baseball -- from a captivating new voice in contemporary fiction. Cooperstown, New York, in 1979 (the year Willie Mays was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame), is a close-knit community where gossip is sovereign and baseball is the great American religion. Seen through the eyes of Dr. Kerwin Chylak, a psychiatrist who has recently moved to town with his family, the citizens of Cooperstown are a wildly eclectic team of players that includes an alcohol-befuddled mayor determined to be more than a footnote to history; the town busybody who pitches missiles of miscommunication; a disillusioned ex-ball player turned warrior; and a sports writer who detests baseball. Little do these ordinary people know that they are about to be thrust into an extraordinary situation as the construction of a baseball theme park threatens their quaint way of life. Teetering on the cusp of a decade in which commercialism could swallow them whole, they are spurred to action -- with unexpected, poignant, often hilarious results. Full of baseball legend and lore and featuring an unforgettable cast of unconventional characters, Cooperstown probes the hearts and minds of small-town America. It is a celebration of life in all its struggles, sorrows, and sudden slides into victory.

The Road to Cooperstown $6.99 Every true baseball fan dreams of visiting Cooperstown. Some make the trip as boys, when the promise of a spot in the lineup with the Yankees or Red Sox or Tigers glows on the horizon, as certain as the sunrise. Some go later in life, long after their Little League years, to glimpse the past, not the future. And still others talk of somedays and of pilgrimages that await. For Tom Stanton, the trip took nearly three decades. The dream first grabbed hold of him in 1972, in the era of Vietnam and Watergate and Johnny Bench and the Oakland Athletics. Stanton, then an eleven-year-old Michigan boy who lived for the game, became fascinated by the National Baseball Hall of Fame, the sport’s spiritual home, the place to which great players aspire. He plotted ways to convince his father to take him to the famous village along Lake Otsego. But his plans for that season never materialized. They disappeared in the turmoil caused by his mother’s life-threatening illness and his brother’s antiwar activities. Still, the dream lingered through the summers that followed. Twenty-nine years later, he invited the two men who had introduced him to the sport, his elderly father and his older brother, to join him on a trip to the Hall. Finally, they embarked on their long-delayed adventure. The Road to Cooperstown is a true story populated with colorful characters: a philanthropic family that launched the museum and uses its wealth to, among other things, ensure that McDonald’s stays out of the turn-of-the-century downtown; the devoted fan who wrote a book to get his hero into the Hall of Fame; the Guyana native who grew up without baseball but comes to the induction ceremony every year; the librarian on a mission to preserve his great-grandfather’s memory; the baseball legends who appear suddenly along Main Street; and the dying man who fulfills one of his last wishes on a warm day in spring. As he did with his award-winning book, The Final Season, Tom Stanton again tells a magical tale of fathers, brothers, and baseball heroes certain to resonate with sports fans everywhere. This adventure, though brief, provides a true bonding experience that is the heart of a sweet, one-of-a-kind book about baseball, family, the Hall of Fame, and the town with which it shares a rich heritage.
