The Adirondacks
Imagine six million acres of majestic mountains, pine-scented forests and pristine lakes.
Add world-class resorts, unique attractions and legendary hospitality. With easy access
from major East Coast cities, the Adirondacks are a summer wonderland for hiking,
swimming, fishing and boating, along with nature museums, art galleries and fine dining.
Friendly villages include Lake Placid, with Olympic venues, posh resorts and lively nightlife.
Explore shops and studios in North Creek, where Gore Mountain celebrates its 80th Anniversary.
Browse the galleries in Saranac Lake, where you can board the historic Adirondack Scenic
Railroad. In an elegant Glens Falls mansion, the Hyde Collection's art spans 6,000 years.
Lake George, known for crystal-clear waters and sandy beaches, offers steamboat cruises
and shopping in 70 outlet centers. Kids love the Great Escape & Splashwater Kingdom!
Families have fun at Santa's Workshop, open year-round in North Pole, and fascinating
nature museums: Tupper Lake's W!ld Center and the Adirondack Museum in Blue
Mountain Lake. Tubby Tubes, a snowtubing park in Lake Luzerne, stays open for fast
summer tubing on water-misted lanes or lazy-river rides on the Upper Hudson.
Enjoy famous Adirondack hospitality, from island campgrounds to dude ranches and
grand hotels like The Point, a Forbes 5-Star resort on Saranac Lake, and Lake Placid Lodge,
one of Travel+Leisure's World's Best Hotels. Unique accommodations include historic
Great Camps, from the landmark Camp Sagamore to rustic White Pine Camp.
Ride the summer bobsled at Lake Placid's Olympic Sports Complex. Catch amazing views
of the ski jump tower from Whiteface Lake Placid's Cloudsplitter, called the most scenic
gondola in North America. For a top-of-the-world view, hike to the summit of one of 46
High Peaks. The Lakes to Locks Passage along Lake Champlain leads to Fort Ticonderoga,
lighthouses and great beaches.
