Plattsburgh became a major US hub for the fur trade with Montreal, which is just over an hour to the north. While the fur trade is no longer active, beautiful historic buildings from that era still stand. Brinkerhoff Street is especially popular for its unique architecture from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Riverwalk Park and the Heritage Trail are also popular, offering scenic views along the Saranac River and passing by museums, art galleries, and local boutiques.
Surrounding Plattsburgh are rural communities, each with its own personality. While Plattsburgh is the business hub of the region, these communities are known for their farms and beautiful landscapes with stunning views of mountains, valleys, and water bodies.
Plattsburgh is conveniently located close to many major cities. It is just five hours from New York City, an hour from Montreal, Burlington, Vermont to the east, Lake Placid to the west, and a little over two hours to Albany, the state capital. This makes it perfect for weekend getaways.

In winter, you can enjoy skiing at Whiteface Mountain, just a few miles from Lake Placid.
