Breeze Flights From Raleigh, NC to Ogdensburg, NY From $39*

Ogdensburg is a charming town on the St. Lawrence River and the Canada border. About an hour’s drive from Ottawa, it’s a nice quiet spot surrounded by farmland. The Oswegatchie splits off from the main river and winds lazily through town. Enjoy the snow that piles up in wintertime, great for ice fishing, or recreate in the water through the summer. You can quickly get to the Thousand Islands region of the river and Lake Ontario as well. 

Start your day with a jaunt to the countryside. Visit Eel Weir State Park for an escape to the woods. Launch a kayak into the water and explore the green banks. Go for a relaxing picnic in the serene glade. The park is complete with fire rings and camping spots for those who want to extend their stay in nature. Afterwards, head over to Presbyterian Stone Church, built in 1824, and take in its unique architecture. As you drive along country roads, keep an eye out for deer and other wildlife. 

Spend your afternoon back in town and learn about the various historical sites that dot the streets. The grounds of Fort de la Presentation line the river’s edge. Originally built in the 1700s by Abbe Francois Picquet as a mission fort, it ended up being involved in the French and Indian War. Nearby you can visit the Ogdensburg Lighthouse with its gray and white tower looking out towards Canada. The state armory is another unique building to check out, sporting red brick battlements. Also pay a visit to the pillared Ogdensburg Public Library and the Frederic Remington Art Museum. Enjoy a collection of portraits depicting early colonial settlers and Native Americans. 

Once it’s dinnertime, you’ll find a variety of local restaurants where you can expect a friendly, small-town welcome. Choose between diner eats, a bar and grille, tacos, pasta, pizza, and sandwiches as several different options for your evening meal. You’ll be pleasantly surprised with all there is to see and do when you visit Ogdensburg. Plan your flight there with Breeze today.
