Madison County Tourism

Welcome to Madison County

You have found a special place in the heart of Upstate New York. Located minutes from the city of Syracuse you will find quaint villages such as Cazenovia, Hamilton, Chittenango and Canastota. Classic Country Inns and Bed and Breakfasts dot our hillsides and hotels and campgrounds offer wonderful amenities. Colgate University, Morrisville State and Cazenovia College add flavor to our communities. The city of Oneida is just minutes from casino gaming at the Turning Stone.

Stay and explore Madison County. We have so much to offer from boating on today's Erie Canal to learning about boats on the historic Erie Canal; spend time with the family on horseback or with the rich experience of corn mazes and pumpkin patches. Whether you are looking to spend the day hunting for that perfect antique in Madison and Bouckville or fishing for trophy fish, snowmobiling or snowshoeing, Madison County has something to offer everyone.

Come and experience Madison County in your own way. Alone, with family or with friends we welcome you and hope your time here is the top experience it should be. You will find that your special place and time is reserved for you in Madison County.
