You’ll find New York’s most accessible summer ghost towns at Doodletown in Bear Mountain State Park, where a 3-mile hike reveals 70 abandoned home sites, and Parksville near Liberty, featuring boarded-up storefronts from its Borscht Belt heyday. For industrial ruins, trek to Tahawus in the Adirondacks to explore 1820s blast furnaces, or visit Frontier Town’s Wild West theme park remnants near North Hudson. Each location offers unique photography opportunities and historical insights that transform these forgotten settlements into compelling summer adventures.
