Ottawa

Ottawa, Canada's Capital City, is a cosmopolitan, yet surprisingly intimate capital where you can immerse yourself in Canadiana and culture, embrace and enjoy the great outdoors, join the celebration at year-round festivals and events, and shop and dine in a relaxed urban setting of distinctive neighbourhoods and districts. Ottawa is a direct one hour drive from Cornwall.

Adirondack Mountains

The Adirondack Mountains of New York, and the majestic High peaks, are a haven for outdoor and indoor recreation of all kinds. Hike the nation's largest trail system, with destinations ranging from mountain summits to isolated waterfalls to forest glades. Canoe, kayak, swim, and fish our 3,000 lakes and ponds and over 1,500 miles of rivers and streams.

Lake Placid

Surrounded by tall, majestic mountains - beautiful no matter the season - juxtaposed against clear, deep lakes and rushing rivers, the town of Lake Placid is home to awe-inspiring scenes around every bend in the road. From this resort community, you can experience all the Adirondacks have to offer. After a day of outdoor adventure, the area's restaurants, spas, shops, hotels and attractions will provide recreational adventures of a different kind.
