Adirondack Park

Welcome

We invite you to visit the Central area of the Adirondacks. Here

you can forget your worries watching the sunset from an

Adirondack chair at one of our lakeside resorts or in a remote lean to

backpack camping. You might just row rhythmically in a traditional guide

boat or rediscover your youth on a scenic seaplane, on horseback, or

paddling a canoe through our part of the Adirondacks.

You will encounter the area’s charm at our varied accommodations,

restaurants, and specialty shops, where the always personable owners

are usually working and ready to greet each visitor with a smile. You might

just splash the time away in one of our many Adirondack lakes, or view

those same lakes from the top of a mountain or on a scenic chairlift ride.

Or if snowmobiling is your passion, the Towns of Inlet and Webb trail

system offers hundreds of miles of professionally groomed trails, where

accommodations and eateries are easily accessible. Known as the

“Snowmobile Capital of the East,” the trail system attracts snowmobilers

from all over the country. Many of these snowmobile trails are also open in

the summer to hikers and mountain bikers, allowing visitors an opportunity to

enjoy the beauty of the Adirondacks while testing their skills on unique and

diverse terrain. Thus, hiking, mountain biking, primitive backpacking and in-season big game hunting fill the forest space around us. Numerous flat-water

canoe and kayak routes exist between and around the villages. Sport fishing

for trout, bass and salmon is available in the Fulton Chain of Lakes, as well

as in the many streams and ponds in the area. All types of camping, from

RV to tenting to free primitive camp sites, is available for enthusiasts in

and around both Inlet and Old Forge.

So come visit our beautiful area and may your stay

with us be uplifting, relaxing and enjoyable.

“The Snowmobile Capital of the East” the Central Adirondacks have been synonymous with snowmobiling for over forty years. Old Forge and Inlet offer hundreds of miles of groomed trails through majestic Adirondack woodlands, to peaks with wonderful vistas and pristine backwoods lakes & streams. The Central Adirondack region experiences plenty of snow, some winters as much as three hundred inches, with snowmobiling from early December through March. Snowmobiling in the Central Adirondack area has been described as “riding through a Christmas card”. Free trail maps are available at all town Visitor Information Centers and at area businesses.

e invite you to visit the Central area of the Adirondacks. Here you can forget

your worries watching the sunset from an Adirondack chair at one of our lakeside

resorts or in a remote lean to backpack camping. You might just row rhythmically

in a traditional guide boat or rediscover your youth

on a scenic seaplane, on horseback, or paddling a canoe

through our part of the Adirondacks . . .
