As winter fades, the Adirondack regions burst to life. Rushing rivers and cascading waterfalls, fueled by melting snow, carve through the wilderness – a soundtrack for spring adventures like whitewater rafting and trout fishing. All the while, snow often lingers on mountain peaks for spring skiing and snowboarding.
Scenic drives along Adirondack Scenic Byways in late spring reveal mountains airbrushed in neon green as fresh leaves unfurl. Hiking and biking trails wind through forests sprinkled with fiddleheads and wildflowers—a paradise for nature lovers and photographers alike.
Spring in the Adirondacks is prime time for wildlife watching—moose graze in quiet wetlands, and songbirds return in full chorus. Cast a line in legendary trout streams, paddle glistening lakes, or explore charming Adirondack towns waking up with festivals and maple sugaring events!
