For anglers, the region’s lakes, ponds and rivers feature some of the best fly fishing in the eastern United States, with a variety of species including landlocked salmon. Hunters love the North Country’s bird hunting scene, thanks to the region’s ideal groundcover for pheasant, grouse and woodcock. It’s also a great area for hunting deer, moose and bear.

For an adrenaline rush, enjoy a motorized adventure through the region’s forests. In the summer, rent an ATV and explore the Ride the Wilds trail system, which has more than 1,000 miles of interconnected ATV trails.

In the winter, the North Country becomes the snowmobiling capital of the Northeast, with hundreds of trails groomed to perfection each night.

Whatever outdoor adventure you seek, you’ll find it in the Great North Woods.
