New Germany State Park
Tug Hill, New York

 
 
 

One hour flying time from the Washington DC, Baltimore and New York City Areas!

Come with River and Trail Outfitters to where it snows more than anywhere else east of the Rocky Mountains. Experience the gentle slopes and pristine backwoods of Tug Hill, a 2,000 square mile wilderness area located at the foot of the Adirondacks and east of Lake Ontario in upstate New York. The lake effect snows provide a natural snow machine, which drops from 250 to 400 inches of snow each year, turning the region into a winter wonderland from December through March. Beginners and experienced cross-country skiers are both welcome on our tours!
