Adirondack Connections is an all-season, fully insured
private guide and trip planning service specializing in small group outdoor
adventures for individuals, women, couples/partners and families. We offer lightweight backpack, paddle, hike, and
camping trips
during the spring, summer and fall seasons. Our guided Loon
Excursions are wonderful opportunities to watch and learn more
about the Common Loon. We are based minutes from the more
remote & "motorless" waters of the St. Regis Canoe, Bog River
Flow and Whitney Wilderness areas in the northern Adirondacks. For
a unique & enjoyable paddling experience, we invite you to join us for
our Adirondack
Pond Hopping
Canoe Trips which offer opportunities to explore the many
glacial ponds, streams and lakes that comprise our wilderness
playground. If you enjoy paddling, hiking and backpacking, our
Hornbeck Boat Pack
& Paddle Trips may be for you. We
provide Hornbeck Boats, the lightest
(<12-18 lbs.) &
most popular Adirondack built double paddle solo canoe, for our paddle trips.

Boat Trips & Events.
Adirondack winters
provide opportunities for
snowshoeing, winter hiking, cross country skiing and cold weather
camping. We offer Snowshoe
Day Trips & Weekend Snowshoe
Packages. Packages can include snowshoes,
poles,
day packs, lodging and meals... whatever you prefer. We are able to accommodate beginners as well as
those with snowshoe experience. Our Cold
Weather Hike, Snowshoe & Camping Experiences are ideal for those who would like to learn
more about cold weather travel & camping techniques. We
provide snowshoes, camping gear & meals for our weekend camping
events. You may also bring your own if you prefer. The choice to sleep outdoors or indoors is
up to you with our Winter Camping Workshops.
These experiences are designed for those who would like to learn more
about or try winter camping but may not be sure they are ready to sleep
outdoors.
If
you are a woman seeking opportunities to spend time with other women with
similar interest, be sure to check out our Women's Events &
Adventure Trips. Adirondack Connections offers a
variety of get-a-way weekend, backpack, paddle, hike, snowshoe &
camping experiences that are perfect for middle age & senior
women. Nature has a way of calming our souls, something sought by
many who find themselves "caught up" in our fast paced, high
tech society. Our Women's
Events & Adventure Trips are appropriate for newcomers to the outdoors as well as
those with prior experience. We welcome your thoughts for a trip
or event that appeals to you.
Our guides have a great deal of hiking,
backpacking & camping experience allowing
us to offer Adirondack High Peaks Trips
and Backpacking
Trips.
Two of our guides have completed climbs to the summits of the 115 peaks over 4000'
elevation in the Northeast and enjoy leading private trips for those
aspiring to become Adirondack 46ers. The
"non-maintained" or "trailless" peaks are our
specialty with the access to the rugged Seward Range a few minutes from
our home-base. We provide partial to complete outfitting (high
quality lightweight camping gear, food & meals) for these trips.
Day
Hikes are also planned for those who prefer something
more leisurely. We have day packs and trekking poles available for those who may need such.
We customize adventure packages
according to your needs, expectations and comfort levels. Tell us
what type of experience you would like (paddle, hike, backpack,
snowshoe, or a combination, etc.), the timeframe you are interested
in, where you prefer to spend your evenings (outdoors or indoors) and
we'll gladly come up with some possibilities for you to choose
from. We offer partial to
complete outfitting, meals, lodging accommodations (prior to, after or
throughout your visit)... practically anything you desire for an enjoyable wilderness
experience!
Besides offering a variety of adventure packages and excursions,
Adirondack Connections also offers
Learn
to Use a GPS
Workshops. Public workshops and
private tutorials are available for anyone interested in
learning more about using a recreational hand-held GPS and mapping software
programs.
Gift certificates
are available for the
trips and events we advertise, as well as any adventure trip ideas you may have.
