Adirondack

Wild sunsets

Tucked along the quieter eastern shore of Schroon Lake lies the hamlet of Adirondack, New York. A place that feels less like a destination and more like a return. A small, deeply rooted community where preservation, connection, and quality of life still come first.

It’s easy to overlook a place like this. It doesn’t demand attention, it quietly earns it. But that’s exactly why Adirondack matters. Here you’re away from distractions and free to swim, boat or paddle the waters of Schroon Lake. You can venture into the Pharaoh Lake Wilderness to see unspoiled ponds and wetlands full of wildlife.

For those who live there, Adirondack is home. For those who visit, it leaves a lasting impression.

Unpack in Adirondack

There’s beauty everywhere you look. Relax on the dock with a cold drink or cycle up the east shore of Schroon Lake. Take a short hike to the properly-named Spectacle Pond, or hit the courts for some tennis.

Here, nature isn’t a backdrop—it’s the main event. Trails, forests, and shoreline are all right outside your door. Whether you visit in peak fall foliage, high summer, or the stillness of winter, the experience feels intimate, not commercialized. You’re not navigating crowds; you’re discovering your own corner of the Adirondacks.

  • Take I87 to Exit 26. Left off the exit, right through Pottersville, then right again toward Schroon Lake. Another right onto Glendale Rd. then Left onto East Shore Drive.

  • Visit the Adirondack General Store for sandwiches, sundries, and ice cream!

  • Grab a tube and a cooler and float the Schroon River from Adirondack toward Brant Lake—just make landfall before the Starbuck Dam!
