A 5.2-mile loop over undulating terrain to three attractive glacial lakes, each with a lean-to, in a state forest near Edwards.

Meeting mid-morning, we’ll hike into the falls to participate in the Chapter’s annual clean-up activities. Bring trash bags and lunch. Call for details.

Help build and maintain our local trails. Work site locations may include: Stone Valley, The Red Sandstone Trail, The Rock Climbing site at South Colton, and Mount Azure. Projects may include: building new section of trail, building a timber frame bridge, cutting new bench along side slopes, clearing brush, and picking up litter, and installing trail markers. Beginners and experienced trail workers alike are encouraged to help build and maintain our local trails.

What is Nature Up North? As part of the ADK Laurentian Chapter Outdoors-Indoors lecture series, join Nature Up North Project Director Dr. Erika Barthelmess and Project Manager Jacob Malcomb to learn about ways we work to engage North Country communities with the local environment through guided outings, citizen science projects, and our interactive website. We hope you'll join us to learn more about what we do and ways you can get involved. Refreshments will be served.

The ride will start from one of the scenic overlooks of Tupper Lake, and will follow Circle Road past the Sabbatis Bog and out to Little Tupper Lake. We’ll complete the loop for a trip of about 20 miles, with plenty of options for exploring as the mood strikes. Plan on a full, relaxed day. Level 3, Moderate.

Climb the second highest peak in NY (5,114 ft), a little over 7 mi round trip and 3,000 foot elevation gain. The view of other high peaks is worth the effort. Bring layers/windbreaker, as it can be windy and quite cool on the summit. Also plenty of water and food. Level 5, Very Strenuous, but we will take our time.
