About the Adirondack Regions

The Adirondack Park is made up of seven distinct regions - each with their own striking landscape and unique personality.

The Adirondack Lakes Region is home to the St. Regis Canoe Area, one of the largest designated wilderness canoe areas in the country. The thriving arts scene in Saranac Lake makes this ‘All American City' a hot spot for year-round entertainment and recreation.

Explore the wild coves and waters of the Adirondack Coast. Bring your binoculars and hike the Lake Champlain Birding Trail. Or peddle the Lake Champlain Bikeways, a vast network of scenic road and mountain biking routes. In Plattsburgh, shopping opportunities abound.

The Adirondack Seaway's attractions highlight the St. Lawrence River, an idyllic retreat for boaters. Home to Singer Castle and the Eisenhower Lock, the Seaway is also known for its art and cultural centers, majestic waterfalls and Amish culture.

Ski, skate, luge and sled in Olympic style in the Lake Placid Region. A historic vacation destination set in the heart of the High Peaks, tee-off at scenic Adirondack golf courses or watch the Sinfonietta perform outside on the shores of Mirror Lake. Schroon Lake offers outstanding fishing opportunities and is the home of a thriving arts community, including the renowned Seagle Music Colony.

Whitewater raft down the mighty Hudson River or spend the day boating around the Lake George Region. One of the Adirondack's top family resorts towns, splash away at the Six Flags Great Escape Lodge and Indoor Waterpark, or take a scenic balloon ride over the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains.

Enjoy spectacular outdoor ATV riding, biking, camping and hiking in the Adirondack Tughill Plateau - and the annual Cream Cheese Festival in Lowville. Paddle the Black River, taste hand-harvested wines at the Tug Hill Vineyard or visit the American Maple Museum.

Discover the Adirondack Wild's historic and artistic attractions. Visit Great Camp Sagamore in Raquette Lake and the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake. Peddle miles of scenic road and Adirondack mountain bike routes, or enjoy a night under the stars at one of the many back country camp sites.
