Adirondack Coast-ers are thankful to call these shores of Lake Champlain home, right on the edge of New York’s Adirondack Mountains, with a wealth of outdoor recreation opportunities and a strong tradition in hospitality.
Adventure is (and always has been) right in our backyards; during a public health emergency, when not all of our favorite pastimes are accessible, this seems truer than ever.
But we are experiencing a time of particular gratitude and pride in our treasured outdoor spaces, providing needed nearby escapes for local families, couples and individuals in search of some fresh air and exercise as we practice social distancing.
Here are our best tips and suggestions for fulfilling your Adirondack Coast outdoor recreation needs at this time, following DEC’s guidelines to “stay local, be safe, be ready, and stay home”.
Take this opportunity to explore what’s nearby, be it a beach, a mountain, park or trail. Pack lunch, then head for a healthy excursion.

We’re the first to admit #adkcoast sights are pretty spectacular, especially our mountains, lakes and wildlife; but right now we’re asking adventurers of all ages to be ready to move along in nature, and not linger when enjoying sites.
If you notice more than ten people in your proximity, to the point where you wouldn’t be able to maintain at least a comfortable 6-ft. distance from the next group, consider exploring another recreation option instead.
If you aren’t feeling well, with a cough, trouble breathing or a fever, it’s best to stay home and follow CDC Guidelines as they develop.
Our trees, lakes, rivers, beaches, trails and mountains will be here when you are well again.
For advice on recreating responsibly during this time, check out DEC’s updates.
