The Adirondacks are known for its long list of outdoor activities. In addition to the 46 high peaks which make for exceptional hiking, the area is also well known for its many lakes, and dense forests. If you have a few days in town to explore and hiking maybe isn’t your thing, here’s a list of some of our favorite to do’s:

1. Go for a swim at Lake Clear Beach.

2. Eat Ice Cream at Donelly’s or Mountain Mist.

3. Grab a drink on the upstairs patio at Bitters and Bones (formerly Cook’s).

4. Take a scenic drive through Keene Valley and grab a slice of pie at the Noon Mark Diner.

5. Visit the VIC (Visitor Interpretive Center) in Paul Smith’s for birdwatching and peaceful walking trails.
