Just inside the six million acre Adirondack State Park in Northern New York, on the shores of a pristine lake in the St. Regis Canoe Wilderness perched high above its own island w/private dock, canoe, Adirondack lean-to, and campfire you’ll discover the natural world in an exclusive camping adventure of your dreams. This adventure requires that we provide canoe/paddles and RT motorboat transport to the isolated site.
Canoeing, swimming, climbing and enjoying the varied wildlife might be your daily activity followed by campfire evenings and a moonlight paddle. Just across the bay is our guest dock for climbers up St. Regis Mtn. - take a picnic. The view is definitely worth the strenuous hike! Return for an afternoon swim w/beverages & a book on the dock. Later on stroll across Island Bridge and up the narrow path to the deck of Topridge Overlook yurt for a grilled supper and often a memorable sunset to be seen across the Lake behind the mountain.
Once you see the vast wilderness on the back side of the mountain, you may choose to canoe to the largest of the ponds you saw from the top on another day. Plot your course by the maps we provide - '7 Carries' and you're there for a lazy afternoon of serene, peaceful privacy far, far away from cares and stress. Rejuvenate yourself with a swim in crystal Adirondack waters.
.'As we return to the yurt that night, our last, it occurs to me that these structures are the best way yet to combine luxury and wilderness. I want the trip to last for a week, at least.' ~ a satisfied guest.
