Naturally beautiful
In Saranac Lake, we take the outdoors seriously, so if you're looking for endless options to get outside this spring, you've come to the right place.
Set out on summer adventures!
In Saranac Lake, the outdoors are so close to downtown that you can be on the water or in the mountains in minutes! Whether you're into hiking, mountain biking, or paddling, summertime offers endless recreation opportunities. Head to Mount Pisgah, where not only can you mountain bike but you can play pickleball! Take a peaceful paddle along the Saranac River, and consider checking off some more Saranac Lake Paddling Challenge trips! Want to get into the mountains? See what the Saranac Lake 6er peaks have to offer, from firetowers and open summits to flora and fauna. Don't forget about the Adirondack Rail Trail, and connect with our neighboring communities!
For laid-back adventures, wander the forested paths at Dewey Mountain Recreation Center or experience the tranquility of the Paul Smith’s VIC, where birds sing, flowers bloom, and the forest comes alive.
Leave No Trace and Love Your ADK
The magic of the Adirondacks is the result of previous generations taking a long view and protecting the mountains, lakes, and rivers within the Blue Line. That tradition continues today as we support and encourage everyone to practice Leave No Trace ethics, which help protect the lands and waters of the Adirondacks.
