Put the anchors away and allow your vessel to drift aboard any of a multitude of paddling trips. Choose from canoeing wild remote ponds, lazy winding rivers, beaver and loon habitats, or wide open and island-studded lakes. Improve your balance, steering skills and endurance while enjoying the Adirondack’s vast and multifold waterways up close and personal. Paddle in early morning fog, at sunset or stay up real late and experience a moonlight paddle. Climb AWAY
Strap on those hiking boots, break out the canteen, a mountain is about to be climbed. Climbing high is part of the true Adirondack experience. Set an ambitious goal to summit a rugged high peak, or choose a smaller mountain, the Adirondacks are filled with rewarding views for those willing to expend the effort. Get a bird’s eye view, see for miles, or climb a restored firetower. Even better, pack a kite and let the strong Adirondack summit winds take it even higher. Hide AWAY
Looking for that hidden isolated trail that leads far away from civilization for an afternoon or more of quiet contemplation? Hide Away hikes allow you to leave behind the troubles of life and enjoy the restorative power of nature. Listen to birds chirp, soak in some rays, smell the pine. With a gentle hike of minimal effort we’ll take you to a special place, nature will do the rest. Snow Day AWAY
Don’t let the winter keep you indoors. Join AWAY on a snowshoe expedition and see why many fourseason hikers rank winter as their favorite time of year. The day will begin with instruction on the importance of nutrition, hydration, and moisture management including dressing in layers. Once prepared for the cold, we’ll embark on a snowshoe adventure with the potential to wow your senses. Choose from treking through snow-covered pine grove, to crossing frozen lakes, to climbing high into an Adirondack Alpine Zone -- an ecosystem so fragile that only few plants can survive. Or take the ultimate and opt for a moonlit snowshoe hike where the reflecting light off the snow is so bright that you can leave your headlamps in the car. This winter take adventure to the extreme.
