Boating
Boating in the Adirondacks
With an extensive network of lakes, ponds, and rivers, the Adirondacks are well known for being a world-class boating destination. From the open waters of Lake Champlain, to the big mountain lakes found across the Park's interior, boating here can be varied and profoundly scenic. Rent a boat or bring your own to enjoy cruising, swimming, fishing, and more.
Clean, Drain, Dry
The prevention of invasive species spreading is a crucial part of preserving the Adirondacks' aquatic ecosystems. To be a responsible steward of our waterways, all boaters and paddlers must diligently follow the "Clean, Drain, Dry" rule for all watercraft and gear, including motors, anchors, and fishing lines. It is vital to thoroughly clean, drain, and dry your boat and equipment before entering any new body of water, as tiny threats like zebra mussels and spiny water fleas can easily cause damage to the ecosystem.
