Here are a few ideas that you and your family can do safely this Labor Day weekend:

1. • Start your fall foliage hikes and walks.  Whether you’d prefer to hike, drive, or stroll through colorful tree-lined avenues, you’ll find plenty of fan favorites on this list.

         • Lake Bonita (located in Gansevoort)
         • Moreau Lake State Park
   • Enjoy leap peeping throughout Saratoga County in the Southern Adirondack region. With the fall season‘s cooler temperatures and vast open spaces, it’ll be much easier to enjoy your time outdoors safely. Whether you’re after an Insta-worthy picnic, an autumnal stroll through the woods, or even a relaxing drive, it’s a win-win—if you can time it right.

It’s always fun picking out your own pumpkin to then take home and make a pie or use as a decoration on your kitchen table.
