Featured program: Heart Lake Paddle

Heart Lake is home to more than just the Adirondak Loj. Join an ADK Naturalist for a guided canoe paddle around this pristine Adirondack lake and learn about its history and inhabitants. Spot some salamanders, maybe hear a loon if you’re lucky, and enjoy a day on the water!

This paddle is suitable for all levels of paddling experience; basic canoe safety and paddling techniques will be covered by the instructor. Personal Floatation Devices (PFD), paddles, and canoes will be provided by ADK.
