Come vacation where the term started.
Hello Fall
September 22, 2022
#TeamFall
It’s the official first day of fall and the weather in Lake Placid wouldn’t tell you otherwise. The cool crisp mountain air gets you in the mood for seasonal favorites like apple picking, pumpkin patches, and leaf peeping. And the best part about fall in the Adirondacks is you don’t have to choose #teampumpkin or #teamapple; #teamfall is where it’s at.
So pull out your plaid shirts and jackets (or shackets) and come visit the Adirondacks for these classic fall activities.

Rulf's Orchard
Whether you’re visiting Rulf’s for their corn maze or not, it’s worth making a trip to the orchard. The scenic 40 mile drive to Peru is well worth it to visit this family owned orchard.
Their store is open year round so you can stop in and pick up some delicious apple cider, produce, and fresh baked goods.

They also have a petting zoo with horses, goats, alpacas, and donkeys, and a kid’s play area.Â
Weekends in September and October their U-Pick fields are open for apple and pumpkin picking – a classic fall activity!Â
