Benson NY is one of those places that offers many traditional excursions you’d expect to find from a small Adirondack town. In the warmer months hiking and biking trails allow you to see the many gorgeous views the region has to offer. When the snow comes to town you can tie on your cross country skis or snow shoes for a day of making trails.

You may also take advantage of Benson’s location on Great Sacandaga Lake by fishing or canoeing. If you want a little help from the locals, there is also the option to hire a charter boat.

If you are lucky enough to be in the Benson NY area in the early fall, in addition to making sure to bring a camera for the extraordinary foliage, set aside some time to enjoy some apple picking in a nearby orchard.
