Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Bliss offers several distinct travel interests: fishing on Wiscoy Creek, local history and motorsports. The creek flows through the town; there is also a DEC fishing access site with public fishing rights, the history of Bliss Baptist Church and the Town of Eagle Historical Museum, and races at Bliss International Speedway. These topics offer different ways to focus your stay.

Wiscoy Creek: fishing and access

Wiscoy Creek flows through Bliss. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) describes its watershed as one of the most productive for wild brook trout in New York State. At the creek in Bliss, there is a DEC fishing access site with public DEC fishing rights and a parking area. The DEC’s assessment refers to the watershed and its characterization for wild brook trout; the fishing access site concerns the specific access in Bliss. Both aspects are therefore relevant to your fishing visit: the broader description of the waterway and the local conditions at the site. Check access conditions and applicable regulations in advance.

Church and museum: Bliss’s local history

Bliss Baptist Church was founded in 1881. After a fire in 1919, the church built a new building on the original site, which was dedicated on November 9, 1924. The dates mark different events: 1881 is the year of the church’s founding, 1919 the year of the fire, and 1924 the dedication of the new building. The church is located at 3402 Main Street in Bliss. This helps distinguish the church’s founding from the history of the later building.

The Town of Eagle Historical Museum in Bliss opened in 2015. It is located in the former Rowley and Cross Store, which dates to around 1932. Several different shops had previously operated in the building. The approximate date of around 1932 refers to the store, while 2015 is the museum’s opening year. The building’s former use adds a distinct perspective on local history to the story of the church.

Motorsports and travel planning

Bliss International Speedway in Bliss hosts races for go-kart enthusiasts and motorsports fans. Race dates may change. If a race is the reason for your trip, check the latest event schedule in advance. This sets the speedway apart from the historical points of interest: the dates associated with the church and museum place local history in context, while a visit to a race depends on specific dates.

When choosing a hotel in Bliss, it’s best to first decide which theme you want to shape your stay. The preparations differ: fishing involves checking access conditions and regulations, motorsports requires checking event dates, and local history calls for understanding the timeline of the church and museum. Plan your travel dates around that focus and use it as a starting point for your search for accommodation.
