We wanted to hold our wedding in the Adirondack Park because it is a place near and dear to our hearts. This is where we grew our relationship through backpacking, canoeing, skiing, and exploring! We want to share our love of this land with you and hope you take the time before or after the ceremony to explore and adventure. Below are some recommended activities to try in the area close to the venue. If you have any questions about the area, please contact Patrick (413-441-0484).

READ ME: Please remember that the Adirondacks is very remote and primitive. There may not be cell service in the area: DO NOT Hike, Bike, or Canoe ALONE. Download the trail map before heading out (If you want a fun story about trail maps, you should talk to our Officiant!). Make sure you have the appropriate attire and gear for your activity (boots, rain-coat, water bottle, hat, life jacket, etc.). Questions are encouraged: contact Patrick, the EX-Outing Club Gear Chair and Treasurer (Haha!).
