WHEN IT COMES TO THE
OUTDOORS IN SARANAC
LAKE, IT'S NOT JUST
THE QUALITY… IT'S THE
QUANTITY.
It can be hard to comprehend
just how big the Adirondacks
are: 6 million acres. Bigger than
the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone
and Yosemite national parks
combined. And almost half of
it is set aside for public use.
When your base camp is
Saranac Lake, pretty much
any outdoor activity you can
dream up is at your doorstep.
Hiking, paddling, fishing,
cross-country and downhill
skiing, ice and rock climbing
and bouldering, camping,
hunting, mountain and road
biking—did we miss any?—all
just minutes from downtown,
not to mention our skate
park, which is in downtown.
Once you get to the trailhead,
though, civilization fades fast:
Our forests, lakes and moun-
tains are as vast as whatever
adventure you dream up.
(And if you forgot to pack
something, need to rent a
canoe or even want to hire
a guide to take you into the
backcountry, don't worry—
our gear outfitters will hook
you up.)
