Adirondack Mountain Club

Adirondack Mountain Club is an Outdoor Club in Lake Placid, NY, located at 1002 Adirondack Loj Rd. Since 1922, the club has worked to protect New York’s wild lands and waters by promoting responsible outdoor recreation, education, stewardship, and advocacy. It serves the Tri-Lakes Region of Lake Placid, Saranac Lake, and Tupper Lake, as well as New Jersey and Rockland and Orange Counties in New York. The organization offers guided hikes, educational workshops, volunteer opportunities, and seasonal celebrations to help people connect with nature. Members and the public can book stays at wilderness campsites, lean-tos, the Adirondack Loj, and Johns Brook Lodge.

The club operates the Heart Lake Property as a hub for educational and recreational activities. Visitors can attend the Wednesday Night Campfire Program, join naturalist-led canoe paddles, or participate in hands-on workshops such as Leave No Trace Level 1 and wilderness first aid training at the Education Yurt Village. The Summit Stewards program engages volunteers in protecting fragile alpine habitats by educating hikers. The club also maintains the High Peaks Information Center, where staff provide personalized trip planning sessions led by New York State licensed guides to help adventurers prepare for backcountry excursions.

Volunteerism is central to the mission, with programs like the Trail Steward Program and the Adopt a Lean-to initiative allowing adults to maintain trails and shelters. The club empowers the next generation through teen trail crews and family-friendly programs that teach outdoor skills. Seasonal events, such as the Fall Outing at the Saranac Village Young Life Camp, bring together members for guided outings, live music, and community building. The club also publishes the 15th edition High Peaks Adirondack Trail Map and operates the ADK Webstore for apparel, books, and outdoor essentials.

The Adirondack Mountain Club remains a vital resource for anyone seeking to explore, protect, and understand the unique ecosystems of the Adirondacks, offering decades of expertise and a dedicated community of stewards to support every level of outdoor engagement in Lake Placid and beyond.
