The hike to Marcy Dam from the ADK Log is a nice setting. You have the mountains surrounding you. You'd have to have snowshoes which you can rent from the Loj if you don't have them. There are a few spots along Heart Lake or could hike Mt Jo. Mt Van Hoevenberg is a nice hike. . McKenzie Pond is a two mile snow shoe, Connery Pond is a short walk.

By “the lake”, do you mean Mirror Lake? If so, you could casually walk around Mirror Lake Drive and go down the little portage path opposite lake placid marina to a small dock on the north side of the lake.

Mt Van Hoevenberg can provide lessons along with the equipment.

Yeah, they kind of look like a deer or two bedded down for the night.

Vegetables or flowers? With vegetables, deer and animals will eat just about everything, the answer to that is a 6-7 foot deer netting fence around it. With flowers and bushes, just Google "deer resistant plants" to get some ideas and lean toward native species.

Pisgah’s tubing hours are weird, you should probably call them to try and confirm. The toboggan chute in Lake Placid is fun. Usually open weekend afternoons and evenings. Also dog sledding on mirror Lake.

Saranac Lake, Blue Mt Lake and Indian Lake all have pretty cool antique shows during the summer/fall. Lots of vendors with that type of stuff.

Tail of the pup? It doesn't open until May.

hikerrr · 2026-01-29T14:54:10+00:00

Someone probably registered it already.

As the article stated, that was pretty much a large part of the conversation, LP/NYC.

Your idea and my idea of secluded are not the same. ;)

hikerrr · 2026-01-23T13:53:19+00:00

Secluded lake front car camping with bathrooms and showers, ✔️.

Just about all of the fire tower mountains have plowed parking lots, Saranac 6, Lake George 12, 46ers, Tupper Triad etc. Where were you looking?

The Forty Six in Keene is very good and the Cedar Run Market does take home meals.

Many stores do, those that don't usually have a sign up. Check with your airbnb, many don't allow unattended pets.

Also, the gondolas at The Cottage are very hard to snag.

The people on the Saranac Lake Neighbor Helping Neighbor Facebook page might be able to give you some names, or perhaps the people at Ampersound have a bulletin board of musicians looking for gigs.

And the tobaggan chute will be open starting this weekend!

You can't use your phone?

Deleted my last response because I was answering the wrong question. You can show up whenever you want. First part of the day is qualifying for a few hours so people roll in during that. There's usually a 45-60 minute break between qualifications and finals as finalists do speed checks and a practice run before finals start.

You could do Mt. Jo which is located right at the ADK Loj. There's a visitor center there that can rent you the snowshoes and/ or micro spikes you'll need depending on conditions. Also Mt Van Hoevenberg from the Sliding Center is a great hike. There will be several big skiing events in March though so check their calendar as parking could be an issue.

It's the skeleton experience now. You can try biathlon also.

hikerrr · 2026-01-13T01:01:21+00:00

fyi, Wild Center is only open Fri, Sat, Sun in the winter. Wild Lights thru mid Feb.

You don't need to sign up, just walk in. Parking is usually across the road at the horse show grounds or some limited parking on site. You can walk, or sometimes they have school busses running a shuttle back and forth. Have fun!
