Welcome to the Town of Caroga!
Caroga, home to about 1,200 residents, is located in upstate New
York’s beautiful Adirondack foothills. Come visit and discover the great
outdoors with us. Choose from multiple lakes for boating, swimming,
canoeing, and fishing. Explore mountain trails for hiking,
Wheelerville Trails for mountain biking,
streams for fishing, and woods for hunting. In warm weather, tee off at
our municipal golf course,
enjoy a picnic or dinner at a scenic spot, or sleep under the stars at
the
state campground.
Take in some history at the museum or hear some music around town. In
cold weather, go to the snow on your sled, skis, board, or snowshoes. Any
time of the year, bring the whole family and be part of our friendly
small town experience and endless outdoor adventures.
