Ride the Rails in the Beautiful Adirondacks
Experience the magnificent beauty of the Adirondacks and climb aboard the Adirondack Scenic Railroad ..
Experience the magnificent beauty of the Adirondacks by climbing aboard the Adirondack Scenic Railroad for a unique perspective of the surrounding Mountains and countryside. The train even has a Café Car where you can enjoy food, wine and beer along the way!
At special times throughout the year, the railroad runs “Special Trains,” which feature thrilling productions such as magic trains, clown trains, wine trains, train robberies, fall scenic cruises and, of course, a magical trip with Santa Claus to the North Pole on The POLAR EXPRESS™ train.
.. Ride in one of the vintage, climate controlled coaches or get closer to nature in an open car, as you travel through forests, past sparkling rivers and over bridges, ponds and streams.
While in Old Forge, round out your weekend getaway with a horseback ride through the Adirondack trails with Adirondack Saddle Tours or have some wet and wild excitement at the Enchanted Forest Water Safari, New York's largest water theme park.
Kick back and enjoy excellent dining and refreshment options like the Mountainside Smokehouse and Grill or Keen Kitchen. Book a room at the rustic and picturesque Big Moose Inn just outside of Old Forge in Eagle Bay or at the Great Pines Resort, an upscale resort with a restaurant, bar and different lodging options in the quaint village of Old Forge.
