A riverside village in the foothills of the Adirondacks

Charming Historic Upstate River Mountains Outdoor Activities

Chartered in 1869, the historic village of Carthage stretches along the Black River in upstate New York. With Lake Ontario to the west and the Adirondack Mountains to the east, Carthage provides endless opportunities for outdoor adventure, from boating and fishing to mountain climbing and camping. Nearby Beartown State Forest provides fishing, snowmobiling, hiking, and camping.

Even though it is a small village on the river, Carthage offers some terrific shops and restaurants. The Carthage Farmer's Market is held seasonally on Fridays, and the downtown area near the river provides a variety of locally-owned boutiques, cafes, and specialty shops. Carthage is just over an hour northeast of Syracuse near Fort Drum and the Thousand Islands region.
