| Situated in the
heart of the High Peaks region of New York State's vast Adirondack Park,
Jay's quaint small-town charm and unspoiled scenic beauty make it an ideal
destination stop on a day trip or an overnight stay.
As Jay's 2,000-plus year-round residents and several hundred seasonal homeowners can attest, the Town of Jay is a great place to live, work, raise a family, and retire. (WARNING: visiting Jay can be habit-forming! Upon discovering our town, you may find that one short visit is not enough and may find yourself returning again and again--or planning on staying permanently.) |

Jay is in the midst of, or nearby, most of the major points of interest in the northeastern Adirondack Mountain region: We are 8 miles from Whiteface Mountain, the only Olympic downhill ski center in the East and the highest point in New York State you can drive up (from around Memorial Day through Columbus Day). The mountain is the focal point of the Whiteface Mountain Region, which is comprised of the towns of Jay and neighboring Wilmington, home also to Santa’s Workshop and High Falls Gorge. Jay is 17 miles from Lake Placid, world-renowned for its shops, restaurants, attractions and Olympic venues. We are within an approx. 20 minutes' drive from most hiking trails in the High Peaks and about that close to Lake Champlain, Ausable Chasm, and the warm-weather ferry to Burlington, Vermont. Within an hour or less of Saranac Lake, Plattsburgh, and Fort Ticonderoga, Jay is about 2 hours from the metropolitan centers of Montreal, Albany, and Burlington and about a 5-to-6-hour's drive from New York City and Boston. |
