Spring in the Adirondacks

Spring in the Adirondacks is a time of rushing renewal. Melting ice and snow can create class IV rapids on the Hudson River, ideal for whitewater rafting trips. Fishing season begins, and slowly, as the trails dry out from muddy winter thaw, hikers and mountain bikers return to the woods. It’s also a time when the weather is unpredictable. A sunny, warm-weather day can be followed by a late-season snowfall. Learn how to stay safe hiking in the changing weather conditions of an Adirondack spring. Find out where you can take your ATV and find out where to relax and enjoy great craft brews, regardless of the forecast.

Between winter's thaw and summer's warmup, there comes mud. Thick, gooey mud for tracking wildlife, tracking through the house or track-ing on an ATV or UTV.
