Welcome to Old Forge, New York
Ok, I lied, I couldn't break it down to 5, so I have listed the top 7 must do things if you are to go to Old Forge
1) go to Mountain Man Outdoor Supply Company and rent a kayak and tour the Moose River. ( or go on your own if you have your own kayak).
2) Stop by Old Forge Hardware Store. An old-fashioned hardware store that truly has it all.
3) Stop by the Candy Cottage for old-fashioned goodies. I love the haystacks!
4) Support the little local theater that has first run movies. It is a great thing to have when camping on those rainy days.
5) Enchanted Forest Water Safari. It has rides and water activities for young and old.
6) Take the McCauley Mountain Scenic Chair Lift Ride especially in September to see the fall colors.
7) Go take a yoga class or just see the art at The View, a museum on Rt. 28 as you head north out of town.
There are a lot of other things to see and do in Old Forge, but the best part of Old Forge is that it hasn't overgrown itself. It is still a place for people to come for the day, or as a day away from the campground. There are so many more things to do in the area, that Old Forge is a "landing site" for people heading out to camp, hike, climb, boat, snowshoe, ski, kayak, snowmobile, or whatever nature activity brings them to the Adirondacks.
