I am a lifelong traveler and explorer of the Adirondacks. Originally as an Environmental Scientist researching the forest and lakes, than as a former musher of an Alaskan Malamute Sled dog team, and Adirondack hiking and fishing guide. The Adirondacks are a place where if you spent a lifetime inside its region, you still would not see all it has to offer. It is a place which I call home and hope it brings a special feeling to your during your stay.
Old Forge is the quintessential Adirondack village with a historic past and unique actives everywhere. There is a main street to walk up and down for shopping, site seeing, and restaurants. It boasts a full amusement and water park, ski resort, two golf courses (one played by PGA pros such as Jack Nickalus, Sam Snead, Arnold Palmer, and Lee Trevino), a movie theater and a museum of art. There are snowmobile, mountain bike, hiking, walking, and running trails in every direction, including one step out the front door, along with a public beach in Town. Old Forge is truly a unique and incredible all in one location for your Adirondack experience.
