Hotels in Ogdensburg

Along the St. Lawrence River, this small city guards a surprising cultural treasure - the Frederic Remington Art Museum, where the famed Western artist's bronzes capture the spirit of a frontier he knew firsthand. Fishing enthusiasts cast lines into the Oswegatchie River, which meets the St. Lawrence in a peaceful confluence perfect for contemplative anglers. The riverfront offers picnic spots where watching massive cargo ships navigate the seaway becomes an unexpected spectator sport. Jacques Cartier State Park provides sandy beaches and grassy areas for summer lounging. Cross the Ogdensburg-Prescott International Bridge for a quick visit to Canada, though locals will insist the best views are from their side of the water, where sunsets transform the river into a ribbon of gold.
