Learn, explore, and connect with ADK
From guided hikes and educational workshops to volunteer opportunities and seasonal celebrations, ADK’s programs and events bring people closer to nature and deepen their connection with the Adirondacks.
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.
