Every season in New York City has its appeal. Whether it’s sunny summer days, flowers blossoming in the spring, newly fallen snow during the winter or the stunning colors of autumn in the fall. But for many New York residents, the fall months are a favorite time of year, as leaves turn into a palette of rustic browns, bold reds and buttery yellows.
If you’re someone who appreciates all things fall-related, now is a great time to gather your family and friends and head out to these prime locations for a picturesque view of the fall foliage.

Bear Mountain State Park
Bear Mountain State Park is only an hour’s drive outside of Manhattan, with most of the trip taking place along the Hudson River, where you’ll get an early taste of fall before diving in to the park’s full autumn landscape. With over 5,000 acres to explore and countless spots for midday picnicking, the park is a favorite destination of NYC foliage seekers and wildlife enthusiasts as well. Additionally, among the activities available at the park are the Trailside Museum and Zoo, the Perkins Memorial Tower and a playground for the little ones if they happen to be tagging along for the ride.

The Hamptons
While there are plenty of places to view the fall foliage on Long Island, probably the best spot is found on the far east end of Long Island in Montauk. In particular, the Montauk Point Lighthouse serves as the ideal vantage point for oceanside foliage, and pairs nicely with a visit to the historic lighthouse itself. Another option is making it a day for boutique shopping and sightseeing with friends, or even a visit to one of the local fall festivals coupled with a relaxing ride back to the city through the more scenic parts of Long Island.
