Discover an Angler’s Paradise from Altmar Boutique Hotels

It’s all about the salmon here—literally. Altmar is world famous for sports fishing. Just an hour north of Syracuse and less than two hours from Rochester, this rural village has plenty to offer when it comes to the outdoors. It’s home to the Salmon River, which is the most heavily fished of New York’s Lake Ontario tributaries, and the area has been designated a Great Lakes heritage fishery. The fishing season runs from late August to late October and it’s a great time to stay in a boutique hotel in Altmar, during which time you can expect to find people of all ages casting their lines.

There are many different shops offering guided fishing trips and rentals of waders and other equipment, so you'll have no trouble getting your hands on what you need for an afternoon spent catching dinner when staying at a boutique hotel in Altmar. If you'd prefer not to go it alone, there are guide services available as well; guides know all the best spots on the river (and are generally happy to share their expertise).

The most famous fish caught there are Atlantic salmon, steelhead trout and brown trout, but there are also many other species that live in the waters of the Salmon River and Lake Ontario.

Indulge in Rest and Recreation From the Top Altmar Boutique Hotels

If you'd like to learn more about fishing the Salmon River, you can visit the Salmon River Fish Hatchery. The hatchery has many exhibits that teach visitors more about salmon life cycles, how fish ladders work, and how they raise young salmon until they are ready to be released into the river at age one (about two years old). And if you happen to be traveling with kids, this is a real treat.

If fishing isn’t your speed, nearby Pulaski offers plenty of small town ambiance, with boutique shopping and plenty of sidewalk cafes and eateries, easily accessible from Altmar boutique hotels. There are also several miles of hiking trails that you can take through the surrounding Altmar State Forest, which offer beautiful views of the Salmon River as well as some spectacular views of the upstate New York area. And if you’re staying at a boutique hotel in Altmar in the winter, you can even go snowmobiling or skiing.
