The Fresh Air Adventures region of New York State is just 30 minutes from Niagara Falls—and offers a quieter, more personal way to experience the area beyond the Falls. Stretching from Niagara to the Finger Lakes, Allegany, Genesee, Orleans, and Wyoming Counties invite you to slow down and explore at your own pace.

Here, scenic byways lead to small towns, local stories, and outdoor experiences that feel both easy to reach and worth the time. From the “Grand Canyon of the East” to the historic Erie Canal, lakes, trails, and family-run businesses, each stop offers something genuine—shaped by the people who live here.

Formerly known as the County Byways region, Fresh Air Adventures reflects the spirit of connection—between places, experiences, and the moments that make you want to stay a little longer. Come explore New York’s Falls to the Finger Lakes—and breathe in the adventure.
