Kicked out of camp for noise

It makes me happy to see people getting kicked out of campgrounds for excessive noise. Thank you rangers!

Woke up to pee at 1am last night while camping along the South Inlet in Raquette Lake 🤍

Possible to avoid ticks?

After getting Lyme twice (one resulting in facial paralysis), I’m nervous about hiking in trails, unless they are somewhat wide and well-traveled. I take all the precautions I can (socks over pants, Picaridin) but the anxiety is still there unless I know don’t have to go through tall grass or bushes. Are there trails in ADK where you can avoid tick-populated areas?

Saranac lake canoe camping

Looking for any extra tips on canoe camping on Saranac Lake Islands. My husband and I will be paddling in with our 17ft canoe for a 2 night trip. We paddle around our local lakes in the Hudson valley but haven’t done canoe camping yet, so this is a first. We’re at site 56 which looked like a fairly reasonable location for our first time at Saranac lake and getting there via canoe. We’re comfortable paddlers overall and I’ve been doing my own research on the campground. I’ve read a lot about this section of narrows from the route 3 boat launch seeing heavy boat traffic so wakes are possible I’m sure. Any suggestions on times to get on/off the water to avoid some of this traffic? Also, it seems that there isn’t a ton of bear activity at this campground otherwise I assume they would have bear boxes, but don’t. Any updates on bear activity there this season? We’ll plan to bring canisters just to be cautious. Any extra tips are appreciated!

Northeast Shoulder & South Slides (up Saddleback, Basin) 8/16/26

Hit a nice 2-for-1 slide hike this past Sunday climbing down Saddleback’s South Slide and ascending Basin’s Northeast shoulder. Epic day & climb & I’d consider this slide climb one of my favorites so far!

Car camp with a view?

Hey everyone, I’m looking for a great camp spot that’s either a really good car camp spot or a short mile hike with a nice view of a lake, mountain, or even a nice marsh. Just something really peaceful and not in a campground. Looking to bring someone that’s not really dedicated to backpacking but wants to experience it. Any spots are welcome but bonus points if it can be a “remote” as possible or somewhere in the tupper lake area.

Hermits?

My uncle told me a while back about a cabin he found deep in the Adirondack wilderness, this cabin was on state land and so, Illegal. It had me thinking, are there any other Hermit cabins that are known about?

Sports Fandom In The Capital Region

I'm putting together a county-by-county map of sports allegiances across New York State (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and other leagues as gauged by interest). To do so I am collecting self-reported data from New Yorkers. If you have the time and are a sports fan of any size, I would appreciate if you helped fill up my dataset. Right now I have a little over 100 responses, but a lot of them are from NYC and Long Island (where I'm from). I'm trying to get a much larger and diverse dataset to boost the overall quality of the project. All answers are anonymous. You'll have to be logged into an email for Google Forms to ensure more than one response is not submitted by the same person, but I can not see any of it.

If you're curious here's the link: https://forms.gle/ZcAaWBVEJNeHr2RUA

Any responses would be appreciated, Thanks!

Is this hike worth it other than the view and why is she wearing jeans?

This view looks fucking sick but the fact that there is a woman posing in jeans there makes me think this isn’t a serious hike LOL. Do any locals have any suggestions for a couple of guys from Colorado that are going to be out there in late September? Want a moderate to difficult hike (no ropes) that will take 6ish hours with some incredible views along the way.

Edit: it would appear that she is wearing jeans because it’s mostly a flat walk along a path and not the rugged “Adirondack Mile” style hike mentioned somewhere in the comments.

Family canoe day trip (kids + cliff jumping/swimming) near Saranac Lake – route and outfitter advice?

Hey everyone,

My wife and I want to take our three kids on a 4 to 6-hour canoe day trip around the Saranac Lake area. We want a calm, scenic route with a good spot to stop for lunch, swimming, and maybe some safe cliff jumping.

I have a few questions for those familiar with the area:

  • The Route & Put-in: Is putting in right across the street from Adirondack Outfitters a good starting point, or is another location better for a family-friendly vibe?
  • Itinerary: What is the best route to hit a great lunch and swimming spot without rushing the kids?
  • Hidden Gems: Are there any cool spots, quiet bays, or hidden gems we should check out along the water?
  • Transportation: Since we do not have much experience handling and tying down canoes, is it worth paying an outfitter to transport and pick up the boat for us?

Thanks in advance for any advice or route tips!
