The Tug Hill Plateau NY

The Tug Hill Region is noted for its extremely deep snow levels in winter, situated in the center of the lake effect snow belt that flows from across Lake Ontario. This region receives the heaviest snowfall in the eastern United States. It is not at all unusual for the Tug Hill Plateau to receive in excess of 4 feet of snow in a single overnight snowstorm. You can also find patches of snow still on the ground on the heavily forested plateau well into June or later. In the winter months the Tug Hill Region is a popular center for snowmobiling and cross country skiing. In summer you will find other attractions and recreational opportunities.

If you have some extra time to spend on your way to or from your 1000 Islands vacation, you won't go wrong exploring the Tug Hill Plateau.
