Watertown, New York is appropriately named. It’s situated in the hub of major waterways like the Saint Lawrence River, the Great Lakes and dozens of much smaller rivers that are popular for catching fish. The city is home to the Tenth Mountain Division at Fort Drum for the U.S. Army; so many families have made the region their home. Locals and guests alike can find plenty to explore in Watertown and its remote regions. And those traveling on a budget can choose from several of our Choice Hotels in Watertown. The Saint Lawrence Seaway is just a half-hour drive from the central area, and within it is the popular Thousand Islands. This past playground of the wealthy is still an outstanding playground for visitors of all ages. You’ll find rentals and boat cruises are ample in cities like Clayton and Alexandria Bay.
Dozens of state parks in the area include camping hotspots as well as beaches. Children will also love sightseeing the estates at Boldt Castle, which is an historic mansion constructed by a millionaire in the 19th century. Had enough just yet? Hiking, fishing and rafting are just some of the activities to be found along or in the Black River. The river punctures through the center of town as it curves its way from the Adirondack Mountains to the scenic Lake Ontario. Tons of local companies you’ll find actually feature guided kayaking or rafting tours. If the rapids are just too strong for your children, you might consider paddling about the “flatwater” sectors of the river. Fishermen can catch some walleye, smallmouth bass, salmon and trout.
Other attractions that surround our Watertown hotels include an exceptional zoo that highlights the preservation of wildlife in the state of New York. And the New York State Zoo at Thompson Park offers domestic and wild mammals, reptiles, amphibians and birds. Animals on show include elk, wolves and golden eagles. The facility is open all year with very limited hours in the winter months.
