It has a little of everything to avoid a trip to the Grocery. Plus the deli counter is a go-to on a cook free evening or good to bring on a hiking day out.

Laid back and easy to go out to after a long day.
Great atmosphere, awesome people, great beer! The blackberry stout was delicious and the IPA was one of the best we've had. Was a great stop after the bobsled experience which was about a mile up the road.

A local favorite in the summer, can be dangerous is water in river is high but when it’s low it has beautiful trails to walk and waterfalls to explore and if you dare a few rock ledges to jump off in the the big hole below some of the falls.

Free to public, they accept donations to keep their enclosures updated. This park hosts animals all native to the ADK park with the ultimate goal of nursing them back to good health and reintroduction back to the wild. A must see for an afternoon stop, you don't know who will be howling....

This is a trip up the backside of Whiteface Mountain to the summit observatory, once at the summit the sights are incredible. The drive up will make even the most skilled driver a tap queasy at the winding steep incline, very fun and what a good photo op at the top!
