Life in the Adirondacks


In the heart of the High Peaks, the Whiteface Region is filled with endless adventures in winter. With low-elevation hiking trails to immerse you in forests blanketed in snowfall, to ice-covered waterfalls that will leave you breathless, there are endless ways to enjoy the best of the season! Surrounded by frosted-over mountains, and veined with the East and West Branch Ausable Rivers, the Whiteface Region offers outdoor recreation for adventurous hearts of all ages and abilities. Life on the water offers the perfect balance of excitement and relaxation, so spend your mornings ice fishing, then head into town for a delicious dinner before kicking back and relaxing at a cozy motel, lodge, or cabin.

If outdoor adventure isn't your thing, explore unique attractions, amazing farms (where you can meet the animals!), shops, galleries, and plenty of places for family fun. The Whiteface Region is vibrant and busy. Check out the events calendar to find out what's happening and when. Adirondack adventures are for everyone, so be sure to explore accessible attractions and activities, too.
