While there’s no one best time to visit Deposit, we’d be lying if we said we weren’t partial to fall on Oquaga Lake. There’s just something about the chilly temperatures and cozy autumn vibes that we can’t help but love.
Are you heading out to Lake Oquaga this fall? It’s a beautiful time of year to visit upstate New York with all the gorgeous scenery and fall foliage. There are also a ton of things to do in the fall here! Fall on Oquaga Lake is not to be missed; let’s explore some of the top things to do.
Deposit Oktoberfest
Who doesn’t love a good old-fashioned Oktoberfest? Back for a 28th year in 2024, this festival is a local favorite for Deposit residents.
At this annual event, enjoy everything from pretzels and beer for the adults to a bouncy house for the kids! They even have pumpkins for your little ones to decorate. Oktoberfest takes place from 10 AM-5 PM yearly on Front Street in Deposit, but be sure to check the Chamber of Commerce for exact dates and times every year.
Rocktoberfest
Okay, so you’ve heard of Oktoberfest, but what about Rocktoberfest? This fun event has been going on for the past six years in Deposit and serves as a precursor to the town’s Oktoberfest.
Come watch as local bands take the stage and rock out to their hearts’ content at 6 PM at Red Barn. The lineup changes every year, but the talented local bands won’t disappoint you at this iconic local venue. It’s the best way to support local live music and get ready for Oktoberfest!
Drop A Line
What better way to spend fall on Oquaga Lake than to go fishing? It’s a year-round activity around here, as long as you have proper equipment!
There are typically fewer people out on the lake fishing in the fall, so you’ll have fewer crowds to deal with (and less competition!). Consider booking our fly fishing getaway package, available specifically from September to November, to take advantage of some incredible fall fly fishing opportunities!
You won’t have to worry about figuring out the landscape yourself; you can relax as your guide shows you the best spots around. They’ll even provide a fishing lesson if you’d like!
