Getting Outdoors

Potsdam is a great place for outdoor enthusiasts. There are opportunities for hiking, biking, cross country skiing, and fishing. There is an 18 hole golf course and minigolf, as well as places to walk or sit and relax.

The Munter Trail: a two mile trail walk along the Raquette River featuring overlooks and a connector trail to continue your walk in the lovely Bayside Cemetery. Park to the left of the Stewart’s Shop on Maple St. and follow the path.
