Long weekend out of NYC - suggestions
« on: March 21, 2018, 02:25:12 PM »
Any suggestions on place(s) to go for a long weekend about 2-3 hours drive out of NYC?
Looking for some nature (wooded area, lakes, fields, ect) with some easy hiking paths, no elevation or very minimal for walking; the area in general can be elevated. No crowds and not very touristy, out of the way preferred but with availability of cheap hotel/motel or AirBnB.

I need suggestions as I am a loss.  My favorite place is in Adirondacks, but that's too far.

Just Joe

Got a smart phone?

From the Android side: AllTrails, MTB Project, WikiLoc (love this one), Strava

All of them are free and all of them offer a peek at various outdoor activities near you or near a ZIP code.

Good luck.

Lake Mohonk is pretty awesome when the weather is good, can't speak for what it's like in cold and snow

Thank you!  I didn't know about these sites.  I'll pass it on.
