The Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake, NY (middle of ADK Park) is not to be missed! They have a large gravel parking lot across from the regular one for RV's and buses. It's a day trip from Lake George area. leave the TT at a CG there or dry camp at one of the state parks right in the ADK park.
The Walkway Over The Hudson (Poughkeepsie NY - Highland NY) is the state's newest park. Longest pedestrian bridge in the world. Crosses the Hudson River. Worth a stop if you are not towing.... not really feasible with a trailer. But perfect stop with tow vehicle, just leave TT at a local CG.
If you start in Niagara Falls and then follow the NY State Thruway east you will see plenty of access points to ADK Park. Then continue south into the Hudson Valley - Walkway Over The Hudson, Vanderbilt Estate, FDR residence. You can also see West Point Military Academy. Or avoid toll roads and stick to State routes like Rte 30...
If you want to see NYC, but not get too close, some of the CG's in Ulster County offer guided day trips right from the CG.
But if I had to pick - my TOP choice is the Adirondack Museum!!!!
Great ideas here, a ton of things to do and see in the Hudson valley area.
What about Rhinebeck Aerodrome! WWI planes dogfighting in the air! Neat to watch.
