Skyscrapers reach toward the clouds in Manhattan and cascades rumble in Niagara Falls at the Canadian border. But between those two cities lies much of what makes New York unique – from the majestic Adirondack mountains to the magnificent Finger Lakes and surrounding natural beauty. So many charming towns dot the landscape, and many are underrated as they brim with character and history. Here are 10 little-known towns in New York, as determined by the World Atlas.

Narrowsburg NY

Located on the Delaware River and at the foot of the Catskills in Sullivan County, this hamlet is tiny but mighty. Narrowsburg has a “rich tapestry of natural beauty and a strong sense of community that radiates from every corner,” according to the World Atlas.

Historic architecture, hippy art-painted barns and a variety of small-town businesses line the idyllic Main Street. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy kayaking and canoeing on the Delaware to hiking trails that offer views of the Poconos. There are several museums in the area, including the Fort Delaware Museum of Colonial History.
