New York

From bustling Manhattan and Long Island’s beaches to the Adirondack and Catskill mountains, New York state offers diverse attractions that include wineries, rivers, lakes, historic sites, and native American history. New York is home to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, the Cooperstown Baseball Hall of Fame Museum, Niagara Falls State Park, Central Park, and the Empire State Building. Swimming in Atlantic coast beaches, skiing in upstate mountains, and boating on New York’s lakes are among things to do in the Empire State.
