About a half hour from Saranac Lake, this is a great place to spend the day and enjoy its Wild Walk, a wooden pathway built at tree top level. From their website: Find new ways to connect with nature through outdoor experiences like Forest Music, naturalist-led guided canoe trips, Barney Bellinger’s Welded Steel: Shape, Form & Light, and get to know some of the Adirondack animal ambassadors that call The Wild Center home.f

Eat early!

Sometimes our little town gets so many visitors that there are long waits for local restaurants. Check hours in advance and be aware that certain days (like Monday) many restaurants in Saranac Lake are closed - just hop on over to Lake Placid or Tupper Lake that night!
