An hour west of the state capital Albany in upstate New York, Canajoharie lies on the south bank of the Mohawk River opposite Palatine Bridge. It is named after an Iroquois term for "the pot that washes itself", a geologic pothole commonly found on the bed of the Canajoharie Creek. Canajoharie was founded in 1730 as a European-American settlement, and a century later prospered as a market town on the Erie Canal. In the late 19th century, the baby food company Beech-Nut opened a small business here and remained in operation until 2011 when it moved to Amsterdam 22 miles away.

Rent a motorhome in Canajoharie and you will be within a day’s trip of some of New York’s grandest outdoors. The Adirondacks to the north and the Finger Lakes, as well as Lakes Erie and Ontario to the west, are all under a three-hour drive away. Or simply float down the Mohawk River for a paddle back in time. Whichever you choose, let the best RV rentals in Canajoharie take you to where your heart desires.

Discover Canajoharie


Journey Into the Adirondacks and the Great Lakes

The Adirondack Mountains are two-and-a-half hours north by Canajoharie camper rental. This vast expanse of natural preserve beckons hikers with its famed High Peaks (46 in total), and visitors with its scenic drives and thousands of lakes. Exploring the six-million-acre Adirondack Park can be overwhelming, so you may want to cherry-pick your way through this region.

If you'd like a dose of military history on your road trip, drive your Canajoharie travel trailer rental on the Revolutionary Trail stretching from the southeast shore of Lake Ontario to Albany. The trail passes through Palatine Bridge so you can aim east or west and be on the trail in no time. Or if you love waterside scenery, small towns, and rural landscapes, follow the Great Lakes Seaway Trail as it winds around the Lake Ontario basin and the St. Lawrence River.

You may be more interested in wine and winding roads, and if you are, follow the Adirondack Coast Wine Trail in your Canajoharie motorhome rental as it traverses the western shores of Lake Champlain from Mooers to Morrisonville through the heart of historic Plattsburgh. The wines come from European grapes and hardy American rootstocks that evoke the rugged and wild Adirondack Coast infused with casual warmth.

The Adirondacks burst into vibrant reds, yellows, and oranges in the fall but the viewing window is short. Plan ahead and time your visit carefully to admire this spectacle. Winter is also a good time to visit the Adirondacks if your idea of fun is an enormous "Ice Palace". Saranac Lake, right at the heart of the Adirondacks, is famed for its winter carnivals and skiing, snowboarding and tubing.

One hundred and fifty miles to the west lies Seneca Lake, the largest of the Finger Lakes. Like the Adirondacks, the Finger Lakes have their own distinctive blend of wines and a wealth of outdoor pursuits for the active traveler. The lake draws water sports enthusiasts who come to enjoy fishing, boating, swimming, and sailing. At the southern end of the lake lies Watkins Glen with its international race track for NASCAR Cup Series and IndyCar Series. There are plenty of campgrounds nearby.

Birdwatchers will love Utica. There's a 200-acre wildlife management area which begins within the city limits where more than 160 species of bird can be sighted. If you are planning a cycling trip on the Erie Canalway Trail, Utica would make a nice addition to your itinerary.

Where to Park Your RV

One of the closest RV parks to Canajoharie is 10 miles northwest along the Mohawk River. It features full hookup sites, accepts big rigs, and welcomes pets. Other options are within a 10-15 mile radius. These are highly rated parks with amenities to match, and you can find the Cooperstown KOA with a short trip to Cooperstown.

Should your plans take you north to the Adirondacks, you won't need to worry about where to park overnight with your Canajoharie RV trailer rental. This vast corner of New York overflows with camping options, whether you want to fully disconnect from civilization or want to have a quick grocery run, or have both and still have enough tranquility to appreciate the outdoors. The Finger Lakes region also offer plenty of camping options, too, whether you're heading to Seneca Lake or one of the smaller lakes like Honeoye.

What to See Around Canajoharie

View the works of American artists and learn about the Mohawk Valley history featured prominently at the Arkell Museum on Erie Boulevard. The museum was named in honor of the first Beech-Nut president, Bartlett Arkell. Step back in time to see what life was like in 18th-century upstate New York. The Van Alstyne Homestead Museum is a typical long, low rectangular Dutch building containing 19th-century images of historic sites. For an easy hike with a view, go to Canajoharie Falls just outside of town. Enter the Wintergreen Park for access to the falls overlook. Or cast a line into Canajoharie Creek for a chance to snag largemouth bass, perch, and trout.

Upstate New York is a fantastic place to be regardless of the time of year, so don’t delay, make your plans today. Search for an RV rental in Canajoharie now and discover what each season brings.
