Like always, before I go on to talk about one of our many naturals wonders, I’m going to rant a little about how important it is that we keep them protected. When visiting any outdoor space, it’s important to follow along with the Leave No Trace principles. Basic rules to follow like always respecting nature and wildlife, disposing of your trash, and taking nothing with you that isn’t yours, help maintain standards so we can help keep some of New York’s most beautiful spaces well-preserved. With that said, the thought of summertime in New York has us dreaming about some of our favorite waterfront locations and adventures. Ready to dream about days spent in the sun? Then take a look at Peekamoose Blue Hole in New York – it will leave you speechless!

What is the weather like in New York in the summer?
Summer in New York is certainly known for being hot, humid, and we get plenty of stormy weather! Particularly in the mountains, afternoon thunderstorms are common. Severe storms happen without a whole lot of warning, so be sure to keep an eye on the forecast and the skies before heading out for an adventure. Be ready to move to safety if you hear thunder! If you're camping or hiking where there isn't great cell phone service, carry a portable weather radio to pair with the weather alert system on your phone. Even though summer storms are common, there are plenty of days where there's not a cloud in the sky and the sun is beating down, and those days are perfect for swimming hole visits.
