While Oswego County offers four seasons of fun, summer is an especially lively time to visit! Featuring plenty of outdoor activities and attractions, Oswego County is the perfect destination for anyone who loves nature.

Explore our roughly 200 miles of trails and discover our beautiful natural resources for yourself. Most of the trails throughout the county are multi-use and allow hiking, biking, walking or running. An especially scenic trail to hike on is at Salmon River Falls Unique Area, where you can enjoy breathtaking views of a 110-foot waterfall.
