If you want to stay in a place full of history, perhaps The Hedges Inn dating back to the Civil War era is a good choice. These are the top 5 things to do in The Hedges (New York) in case history is not really your thing.

Appreciate some delicious dishes
The friendly staff of the kitchen is more than eager to prepare a full and cooked to order breakfast as well as a 4 course dinner, followed by some evening snack. All these options are included in the room fee, therefore you should fully take advantage of them.

Play some tennis
The clay tennis court is right next to the kids’ playground. If you don’t feel like running a lot to return a ball, then maybe a match of table tennis in the game center will be more enjoyable. Of course, table tennis is among the top choices for the guests when the weather is bad.

Enjoy the lake
The Blue Mountain Lake has clean waters and is waiting for anyone interested in fishing, swimming, or boating. When it comes to boating, the most common options are renting a kayak or a canoe. Swimming and soaking up the sun is possible on the inn’s private beach.

Explore The Adirondack Park
If all other form of entertainment fails, perhaps The Adirondack Park has something better to offer, after all the inn is located in it. Hiking and biking on the many trails are perfect ways of taking in as much fresh air as possible, and getting closer to nature. Maybe you’ll have the chance of seeing some wild animals as well.

Visit an art center
Most of the art centers and galleries are located on streets with deceptive and non-descript names. It might be difficult to find them, but you will find treasures created by Picasso, O'Keeffe, or Rembrandt, to name just a few.
