For clients looking for inspiration, apple and pumpkin picking at local farms, craft cideries and breweries, corn mazes, weekend getaways and Halloween experiences, including the legendary seasonal celebrations of Sleepy Hollow are all tipped as reasons to visit New York State in the American fall.
I Love NY says the season, typically late Sep through Nov, transforms the state into a spectacular canvas of red, orange and gold, bringing a new dimension to landscape across the region. The bureau even has a weekly Fall Foliage Report, tracking the progression of autumn colour across New York State.

. . . Self-driving
Self-drivers can follow scenic routes through the Adirondack High Peaks, wind alongside the Finger Lakes or travel through the colourful landscapes of Chautauqua-Allegheny. The region offers vivid foliage and memorable stops providing plenty of reasons to slow down along the way, says I Love NY. Fall festivals bring together some of the season’s most distinctive New York experiences, including thousands of glowing jack-o’-lanterns in the Hudson Valley, hot-air balloons over the Adirondacks, apple celebrations in the Finger Lakes, Oktoberfests, harvest events and even pumpkins flying into the St Lawrence River.
It is also an ‘ideal’ time to explore on foot, from the Adirondacks and Catskill Mountains to sections of the Appalachian Trail and scenic walks along the St. Lawrence River, with hikes across the state combining crisp autumn air with colourful forests and views.
