Winter Family Weekends series at the Adirondak Loj on Heart Lake

Lake Placid – The Adirondack Mountain Club is presenting the Winter Family Weekends series at the Adirondak Loj on Heart Lake. On the weekends of February 29-March 2 and March 7-9, the Adirondak Loj will host activities geared for, but not limited to, families with children ages 8 to 12.

Outdoor activities range from snowshoeing and skiing, looking for animal tracks, building snow forts, sledding, and creating works of art. The cost is $140/$195 for children/adults, $155/$215 for nonmember children/adults, and includes instruction, meals, and lodging for the weekend.

The Adirondak Loj was constructed in 1927 and has accommodations for forty guests.  It is located on the shore of Heart Lake, located deep within the High Peaks of the Adirondack Mountains. It caters to those seeking education, recreation and hospitality in the wilderness and maintains a rustic dining room with homemade cuisine, a stone fireplace, and an Adirondack-themed library.

To reach the Loj, drive five miles south of Lake Placid, New York, turn right onto the Adirondak Loj Road off Route 73, and proceed approximately five miles to the end of the road.
