The Village of Northville... starting point to the famous
133 mile long Northville-Placid Trail that 
traverses the rugged Adirondacks...

Welcome to the Beautiful Southern Adirondacks...

We are at the beginning of one of the most impressive state parks in the nation.  With 6 million acres, endless opportunities abound to enjoy the outdoors from the waters to wilderness trails.  In our Southern Region, the Great Sacandaga Lake dominates the landscape with over 129 miles of shoreline.  Hiking, biking, white water rafting, paddling, fishing, and boating extend through Spring, Summer, and Fall.  Snowmobiling, skiing, snowshoeing, and ice fishing fill the Winter.  Your options are endless!  We are happy to help point you in the right direction toward trails, guide services, charter trips, and more.
 

Located at the northern point of the Sacandaga Valley, The Village of Northville is a historic town dotted with victorian and greek revival houses, a picturesque Main Street, small shops, and laid-back charm. Dating to the late 1700’s, the town now sits practically surrounded by water between the Great Sacandaga Lake and the Northville Lake; both created with the construction of the Conklingville Dam in 1929. In addition to having everything one needs for a getaway, this area is home to skilled craftsmen, fine artists, and excellent musicians. Take time to explore the shops, galleries, and restaurants, catch some live music, and watch the antique cars roll by.

 The Sacandaga Valley... a foodie's delight?

While food may not be the first thing that comes to mind when visiting the Adirondacks, one tour of the Sacandaga Region may change that notion.  A short drive brings you to wineries, cider mills, maple syrup farms, beekeepers, berry farms, cheese shops, homemade pie stands, organic vegetable farms, farmer's markets, locally made yogurt (Fage!), exceptional restaurants, breweries, and apple orchards.   Need we say more?
