9 Great Things to Do in the Adirondacks Now
Leaf peeping season is over, and the snow has already started to fly. Here’s our list of what’s hot this weekend (and beyond) in the Adirondacks, November 2 to 7, 2023.
November in the Adirondacks offers many diversions.
Although the leaves may have fallen and the boats are now stored away for the winter, November is still an excellent time to visit the Adirondacks. With fewer crowds, it's an ideal time to go hiking. Moreover, since the trees are bare, we can enjoy incredible views of our lakes and mountains hidden by foliage during the summer.
