The Best Places in New York to See the Most Beautiful Fall Leaves

Round out your Adirondacks experience with one last stop — to a waterfall. Skirt your way around the south end of Lake George, for 33 miles, and end up on the east side near Fort Ann, where you'll find the trailhead for Shelving Rock Falls. An easy 15-minute walk will bring you to the 50-foot falls, but if you have time, keep on keepin' on for a calming stroll with views of the lake. Leaving the Adirondacks won't be easy, but you can always stop for another apple cider doughnut for comfort.
