Bucket List - New Yorjk
Niagara, Erie Canal & what else?
Forum Discussion
Rather than taking the expensive & boring NY Thruway between Niagara Falls & the Adirondacks, follow the signs for the Seaway Trail. Much of it is along Lake Ontario, most is good 2 lane roads, and a pretty, relaxing drive with a number of state parks along the way.
Even as someone that moved from the NYC area to upstate NY, I do suggest a couple of days in NYC. See a play, visit some of the museums, the Statue of Liberty, etc.
Upstate NY has many beautiful areas. My favorite waterfall is at Chittenango State Park (no camping), the Adirondacks are beautiful (outside of black fly season!)
There are many festivals throughout the year that are worth checking out, from small, free Sunday lawn concerts at places like Sodus Bay Lighthouse to huge weekends like the Oswego Harborfest. Lots to do if you stop at local visitor centers to find out what is happening in the area.
