Discover Saratoga is proud to share that Saratoga County has placed sixth out of twenty destinations for "Best Place to Visit for Fall" in USA TODAY's 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards. This recognition honors all that Saratoga County has to offer, such as the beautiful autumn scenery and seasonal local attractions that draw visitors from near and far. The list of 20 nominees were selected by a panel of travel experts and voted on by the public.

The top 10 destinations were named in the article, “Autumn escapes: 10 best spots in the US to visit this fall.” Saratoga County was the only New York – or New England – destination to be nominated, and was recognized for its breathtaking view, autumn activities, and delicious food.

“Already a popular summer destination, Saratoga County makes a great fall getaway, too,” said Darryl Leggieri, president of Discover Saratoga, Saratoga County’s official tourism promotion agency. “The Saratoga Corinth & Hudson Railway offers a cozy way to view the changing leaves, and several boat tours offer stunning fall views from the water. The Downtown Saratoga Springs Fall Festival offers classic autumn activities like pumpkin rolling and trick-or-treating, while the niche Saratoga Hard Cider & Doughnut Fall Fest delivers some of the best brews and sweets in town.”

In addition, visitors to Saratoga County can enjoy numerous other fall-themed events, including apple picking, Haunted Saratoga Tours, or Ghosts of Saratoga Guided Trolley Tours.
