The Adirondacks have a rich history of pack canoes—the small boats used to explore the endless lakes and rivers of northern New York.
St. Regis is the only designated canoeing zone in the entire state. There are 75 marked tent sites and three lean-tos along the shores of its 58 interior lakes, with access limited to human-powered watercraft. Alternatively, stay at one of the many historical inns and lodges that served as hotspots for big-city vacationers around the turn of the 20th century.
