What A fall weekend at an historic lodge on Raquette Lake in the Adirondacks. Activities include lots of great hiking, biking, kayaking, canoeing (bring your own equipment). The Wild Center in Tupper Lake requires online timed-entry reservations; The Adirondack Scenic Railroad in Thendara is offering rail bike rides as is the Revolution Rail Co. in North Creek; McCauley Mountain is running chair lift rides and offers mountain biking. The Adirondack Experience in Blue Mountain Lake is definitely worth a visit as is the nearby Great Camp Sagamore. Please check the Old Forge area website for activities if you are looking for things to do. Or, just kick back, unplug and unwind.

There are also two half bathrooms in the downstairs with a toilet and sink. All rooms have single spring beds and bunk beds. You'll need to bring towels, a sleeping bag or sheets and blankets and your own pillow.
All of the rooms, including bedrooms, in the Main Lodge are heated. WiFi is available on the property, but cell service is spotty. AT&T seems to work well. This is an opportunity to unplug and reconnect with nature and friends.
The lodge's common areas are spacious and comfortable. All kitchen and cleaning supplies are provided. We have to clean up and leave the lodge as we found it. We always leave it better!
