SHAWANGUNK WINE TRAIL-NAPA OF THE EAST
by moiraistyx
New York State is loaded with wineries, we are fortunate in the Hudson Valley to have some of the best wineries in New York State within minutes of eachother. The Shawangunk Wine Trail is a collection of 11 wineries and vineyards. Each winery is different from each other in the types of wine they produce. You will find sweet dessert wines, bone dry wines, sparkling vinifera and fantastic fruit wines. Whether you are a wine expert or a novice such as myself you will not only enjoy the wines, but you'll also love the beautiful scenery each winery has in store. My favorite is the view of the Shawangunk Ridge from Whitecliff Vineyard and Winery. The wineries in the Shawangunk Wine Trail are:Adair Vineyards52 Alhusen RoadNew Paltz845-255-1377www.adairwine.comApplewood Winery82 Four Corner RoadWarwick845-988-9292www.applewoodorchardsandwinery.comBaldwin Vineyards176 Hardenburgh Rd.Pine...
Lake Champlain Chocolates - Burlington, VT
by 807Wheaton
One of our mornings in Burlington was spent at the Lake Champlain Chocolate Company. It is on the south side of the city and quite easy to locate with a map or if nearby you can smell the aroma! We heard about their history and saw them making chocolates for the Christmas season. Their specialties include Event Chocolates and Seasonal Chocolates. We did not walk through any part of the plant that was making or molding the candies. I must agree that if you purchase Lake Champlain Chocolates you will be getting fresh chocolate candy. The best part about the "tour" was the plate of chcolate samples we were offered - and it is very good!They also had a place to browse and purchase their candies. They also offered seconds for reduced prices. Tours are offered Monday through Friday on the hour 10 AM to 2 PM.I would recommend this as a stop in Burlington.

Auto Museum in Saratoga Spa State Park
by kazander
Saratoga Springs is known not only for it's Horseracing Tracks, but for the healing mineral Springs found in the area. The native Americans used these springs for years and years to heal the sick, and shared their knowledge with the Europeans when a friend became ill. Quickly the area became THE place to go, and not only were people coming to bathe in the springs, but the water was beeing bottled and sold at an alarming rate. Eventually the water tables dropped dangerously low, so the state shut down most of the plants, and the area became Saratoga Spa State Park. Saratoga Spa State Park is unlike any other State Park I've been to. it's quite small, with many buildings, including the Gideon Putnum Spa resort, the Auto Museum, a grand looking resturant, and a few bathhouses. There are of course hiking and walking trails as well.The old bottling plant in Saratoga Spa State park has been...
Mountain Lakes Park
by cruisingbug
Right up the hill from my old house in South Salem, NY is a beautiful woodland area known as Mountain Lakes Park. In the summer, campers stay overnight at the lodges, usually as an organized group, but individual tent camping is also available. It gets quite noisy with NYC campers around the major holidays, though.The park has two good-sized lakes for swimming and boating - but the real draw is the hiking trails. In the autumn, the hardwoods are breathtaking, and the views from Mt. Bailey are outstanding - just follow the first dirt road on your right after you go past the entrance for an easy hike up.Admission is charged in the high season. Entrance is from Hawley Road, North Salem.
The Renaissance Faire
by kazander
The Ren Faire in Tuxedo Park, NY is a wonderful way to spend a summer day. The are many shows, such as the Joust and Human Chess, not to mention the Bellydancers and Giant Mud fight. A favorite of mine is the "Birds of Prey" show. Falcons, Eagles and Peregrine falcons swooping over your head during a demonstration of their skills and talk explaining the importance of conservation efforts. At the numerous shops,you can buy anything from little live "dragons", to costumes and jewlery and a lot of handmade crafts made of glass or pottery. Even Faerie wings!And the Food, interesting stuff, like a giant turkey leg, or "meat on a stick" or flavored ices on fruit halves or even just a beer! And don't forget the little street filled with all kinds of games. Archery, Axe throwing, the "Amazing Maze" and my favorite "Sheep Chucking"There are even paddleboats, though I'm not exactly sure how they...
The Thousand Islands
by traveldave
The Thousand Islands area is one of the most beautiful and popular outdoor recreational areas in New York State. It attracts campers, fishermen, birdwatchers, boaters, canoeists, and other outdoor enthusiasts. The Thousand Islands are located between New York State and Ontario, where the mighty Saint Lawrence Seaway begins in the eastern part of Lake Ontario. The American Indians who used to live in the area called the Thousand Islands the "Garden of the Great Spirit." To be precise, there are actually 1,864 islands that make up the Thousand Islands. There are two criteria for a piece of land to qualify as an island: first, it must be above water level for 365 days per year; and second, there must be at least two trees growing on it.Each island is different, some with granite cliffs or sandy beaches, tall dark pines or colorful sugar maples.Many of the islands are privately owned, and...
FILLMORE BIRTHPLACE
by mtncorg
Located on a lonely road high above the south end of Owasco Lake is a small roadside park commemorating the birthplace of the 13th President of the United States, Millard Fillmore. The location is isolated even today, so just think what it must have been like in 1800 when Millard was born - January 7 - the nearest home was four miles away. Fillmore, like Abraham Lincoln, grew up in grinding poverty and , as with Lincoln, he managed by strength of character, managed to educate himself, finally becoming a lawyer. Again like Lincoln - and Willard Seward with whom Fillmore was very familiar - Fillmore was a member of the Whig Party. Both he and Seward had earlier been attracted to the Anti-Masonic movement. They made the transition to Whigs and were close associates with New York Whig Party boss Thurlow Weed. Fillmore would become disassociated with these New York brethren over political job...

FILLMORE GLEN
by mtncorg
Just outside the small town of Moravia, Fillmore Glen is a popular campground with a cottage available for those people who need little more for their overnight stay. There are trails affording views of the gorge as well as five waterfalls. A replica of the log cabin birthplace of Millard Fillmore, the 13th President of the U.S. is found nearby in Moravia. Millard was actually born a few miles outside the park. The cabin was home to Millard, his parents and some seven siblings. You can see that space, especially during the cold winters, was hard to come by.One popular falls location was known as the Cowsheds. This area under the falls was a place where cows were left so they could keep cool during the hot days of the summer.

PETER WHITMER FARM
by mtncorg
On 6 April, 1830, Joseph Smith, Jr. and several others began the formal organization of the Church of Christ which would become the Mormon movement. They did so in this house that belonged to Peter Whitmer, reconstructed by the LDS church in 1980. The Whitmers were some of Smith’s earliest converts. In their home, Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery finished writing the Book of Mormon. The Whitmer Family would eventually break away from the Mormon movement in Far West, Missouri in 1838. The farm is located a few miles south of the town of Waterloo. Mush of the surrounding land both here and over at the Smith family farm/Sacred Grove/Hill Cumorah complex near Palmyra is owned by the Latter Day Saint Church and is leased out to local farmers. To tour the house you check into the large church on the east side of the farm house.

See the Adirondacks
by depinski
The Adirondacks and the Adirondacks Park is a region in Northern New York containg 3,000 ponds and lakes and 2,000 miles of hiking trails. It truly is a beautiful place. Even if you stop for a minute to enjoy the view it's well worth it. If you're driving through, watch for New York State Police and obey the speed limit.
