The First Wilderness Heritage Corridor Tour from the Warren County Tourism Department guides you through the first true wilderness sought out by vacationers. Your group can rediscover the beauty and recreation that the first visitors to the area enjoyed on their journey through the Hudson River Valley.

 

In addition to the natural splendor of the Adirondacks, there is a wide variety of "hidden gem attractions" and historical treasures at each stop along the Corridor. Whether you tour the Corridor via bus, rail, car, bike, kayak, canoe, raft or on foot, you will experience the bountiful history that shaped the Adirondack Region of New York State.

Plan an itinerary to visit some or all of the communities that make up the First Wilderness Heritage Corridor, and experience their unique and colorful history by visiting many historic sites, indoor and outdoor attractions, and interpretive exhibits.

A unique way to begin your journey is aboard an excursion on the scenic Upper Hudson River Railroad. Enjoy rambling the rails on a day of adventure and discovery in the communities of North Creek, Chester, Warrensburg, Thurman, Stony Creek, Lake Luzerne, Hadley, and Corinth.

Hop on and off the train to explore various points of interest in the quaint, small towns dotting the Corridor. The options are endless. View the historic Bow Bridge and Sacandaga Train Trestle or wrangle some rapids white water rafting in Hadley. Take a relaxing horse drawn carriage ride along the mighty Hudson River in Lake Luzerne, reflect upon the importance of the past at the Warrensburg Museum of Local History, tour a working goat farm in Johnsburg, enjoy a delicious barbecue lunch at a Dude Ranch in Stony Creek or join a Forest, Farm & Country Fixin's Tour when you reach Thurman.

Spanning all seasons, ranging from restful and relaxing to extreme excitement, The First Wilderness Heritage Corridor offers a diverse variety of tour options for tour groups of all ages, interests and abilities, the only problem is fitting it all in.
