You can enjoy boat tours, kayaking, or walking and biking along the canal path without the chill of cooler seasons. This is also when local farmers' markets are in full swing, offering fresh produce and local goods.For those who appreciate scenic beauty and comfortable temperatures for outdoor exploration, the fall, particularly late September and October, is an excellent choice. The surrounding Mohawk Valley transforms with vibrant fall foliage, making it a beautiful time for drives, hiking, and visiting local historical sites like the Fort Plain Museum.
