As a somewhat large state, it is broken up into 10 different areas. At the northern part of the state, generally referred to as "upstate," there is the Thousand Islands-seaway, and the Adirondacks. To the west is the Greater Niagara area, Chautaugua-Allegheny and the Finger Lakes Region. In the middle is central New York with the Capital-Saratoga region to the East. Downstate includes the Catskills, Hudson Valley, New York City and Long Island. All of these areas offer fun, exciting and adventurous activities for locals and tourists alike.
In New York, there's so much to see and so much to do. Go shopping in the city or watch a theater performance. Learn about this history of the state in the capital, Albany, or go biking in the mountains. Check out the architecture and design within the various regions, explore nature and the outdoors, go apple picking, or go camping. Whatever you have a passion for; we have something that will please you.
While exploring the great outdoors in New York, you will have the opportunity to take in the dazzling beauty of our wildly diverse landscapes with our four mountain ranges. Along with this, there are hundreds of state and national parks, pristine natural preserves, including the Adirondacks and the Catskills, and over 6,700 natural bodies of water and thousands of miles of shoreline. With all of these outdoor activities being offered, you'll find plenty of places for active adventures, including hiking, camping, fishing, canoeing and kayaking, just to name a few. If you want to experience New York's splendid natural buauty for yourself, bring your boat, bike, camera, hiking boots, bathing suit or all of the above, and get ready for breathtaking picturesque views you won't forget. Explore the shoreline of Lake George or the botanical garden. Check out the sites from the dunes of long Island's Montauk beaches to the rolling hills of Chautauqua-Alleghany, and from the lakes and rivers of Thousand-Island Seaway to the beautiful Niagara calls. You will find scenic drives and excursions that will bring you to intriguing natural wonders.
During your visit, be sure to check out the exciting capital region, Albany. The Albany skyline gives you a sense of the rich mix of history and the present day that is here. You can take a walk downtown for a lesson on architecture or see a play at the Capital Repertory Theatre. Visit the Empire State Plaza or check out "The Egg," a performance center that is a work of art in itself. If you're looking to brush up on your state history, check out the New York State Museum, which chronicles the unique heritage of each region and is home to a moving September 11th exhibit.
