Paddle-Genesee River
Genesee Valley Chapter
We'll meet at the boat launch off Lake Ave in Charlotte at the Public launch near the Marina. We will paddle south on the Genesee River. Hopefully the fall leaves will be at peak and this will be a beautiful paddle where we can sometimes see turtles and swans and a large cement freighter. Be sure to dress for the weather as this is getting into fall and will be our last paddle of the season.
Be prepared to sign the ADK liability form, wear your PFD tight and correctly, and keep an eye on fellow paddlers. Bring: boat, PFD, boating supplies, sunscreen, water, snacks (optional)
New to ADK? Come join us for a couple of outings, and if you like what you see, become a member to support responsible outdoor recreation and enjoy the benefits of membership!

Walking Wednesday
Onondaga Chapter
Every Wednesday some of our members take a hike on one of the many trails in CNY. The Wednesday hikes welcome new participants. The participants decide where to go, based on weather and individual schedules. The first Wednesday of each month during spring, summer and fall is usually devoted to trail maintenance. The trails are south of Syracuse, below Rt 80 in general, the Onondaga trail, FLT, and NCT trails give us a variety to choose from. Dress for the weather (in layers). Water and food (light lunch/snack), and any necessities such as raingear are best carried in a small daypack. Walking/hiking poles might be good for balance on rocks and tree roots we encounter, traction spikes and/or snowshoes taken as needed seasonally. Our group is very flexible and we love to be out in the woods for a nice social hike. Contact the leader if weather is questionable or any other questions arise. Hope to see you on a Wednesday hike. Must contact leader to confirm meeting time and location.

Backpack the Siamese Ponds Wilderness, South Central Adirondacks
Mid-Hudson Chapter
The Siamese Ponds Wilderness is over 100,000 acres of rolling hills, a few small mountains and 67 bodies of water. The trails hikers enjoy today were created by man's original encroachment centuries ago. But buildings burn down, wooden fences rot, hay fields turn into deer meadows and saplings sprout into trees. The Siamese Ponds Trail, our route, follows much of an old stage coach road from North Creek to Bakers Mills, built in the 1800s. The area is now wilderness. Only the old roads, now trails, and clearings with names like Old Farm Clearing, Burnt Shanty Clearing and Curtis Clearing, remind us of what the area must have been centuries ago.
According to Bruce Wadsworth, author of several guidebooks, "The Siamese Ponds Trail provides a variety of terrain and beauty that should satisfy any backpacker." He also writes, "The beginner will find a generally easy route." So, experienced day hikers, who want to try backpacking, may apply for this trip. We have some gear to loan, but each participant must bring…

Walking Wednesday
Onondaga Chapter
Every Wednesday some of our members take a hike on one of the many trails in CNY. The Wednesday hikes welcome new participants. The participants decide where to go, based on weather and individual schedules. The first Wednesday of each month during spring, summer and fall is usually devoted to trail maintenance. The trails are south of Syracuse, below Rt 80 in general, the Onondaga trail, FLT, and NCT trails give us a variety to choose from. Dress for the weather (in layers). Water and food (light lunch/snack), and any necessities such as raingear are best carried in a small daypack. Walking/hiking poles might be good for balance on rocks and tree roots we encounter, traction spikes and/or snowshoes taken as needed seasonally. Our group is very flexible and we love to be out in the woods for a nice social hike. Contact the leader if weather is questionable or any other questions arise. Hope to see you on a Wednesday hike. Must contact leader to confirm meeting time and location.

Cold River Chapter
October 29: Wardsboro Road Hike, Town of Bolton/Hague, Leader: Brendan Hanley, Level: Easy ADK Rating: Leader Level 1, C (Easy), Duration: 3 Hours Limit: 10, Description: During much of the nineteenth century the Wardsboro Road connected the north and south basins of Lake George on the west side of the lake. The road, named for the once “thriving” farming community of Wardsboro, ran (and portions/remnants still run) for 7 miles between upland Hague and Bolton). By the 1920’s most of the residents of Wardsboro had either moved away or died out (along with the community itself). I plan to confine this fall’s outing to a 4 to 5 mile (total out and back) exploration of the southern portion of the Wardsboro Road, including the historic Wardsboro Cemetery. Hopefully other evidence of the abandoned community (cellar holes/stone walls) can also be located. The hike will not include any significant/extended elevation gain. Meeting Place/Time: Meet at 9:30AM at a place to be determined near Bolton Landing. Contact:…

Mt. Van Hoevenberg Hike
Black River Chapter
Join us for a rewarding fall hike up Mt. Van Hoevenberg, one of the newest sustainably designed trails in the Adirondacks. Opened in October 2018, this route offers a thoughtful, durable trail layout and leads to one of the finest panoramic views of the High Peaks. The hike is 3.6 miles round-trip with an elevation of 2,860 feet. While not a race, the trail does include stair sections, and we will pace ourselves comfortably. Expect the outing to take 4+ hours, including a well-earned break at the summit. We will meet at the trail head register at 9:45 AM, ready to begin hiking at 10:00 AM. Trailhead directions: Finding the start can be a bit tricky at the new Olympic and hiking center. From the parking lot, go through the gate and look left for a blue ORDA sign (not the traditional brown and yellow DEC sign). Walk toward the old bobsled run — from there you’ll see the trailhead and register. After signing in, hikers begin a gentle climb that gradually opens to spectacular High Peaks views. RSVP REQUIRED.

Walking Wednesday
Onondaga Chapter
Every Wednesday some of our members take a hike on one of the many trails in CNY. The Wednesday hikes welcome new participants. The participants decide where to go, based on weather and individual schedules. The first Wednesday of each month during spring, summer and fall is usually devoted to trail maintenance. The trails are south of Syracuse, below Rt 80 in general, the Onondaga trail, FLT, and NCT trails give us a variety to choose from. Dress for the weather (in layers). Water and food (light lunch/snack), and any necessities such as raingear are best carried in a small daypack. Walking/hiking poles might be good for balance on rocks and tree roots we encounter, traction spikes and/or snowshoes taken as needed seasonally. Our group is very flexible and we love to be out in the woods for a nice social hike. Contact the leader if weather is questionable or any other questions arise. Hope to see you on a Wednesday hike. Must contact leader to confirm meeting time and location.

Walking Wednesday
Onondaga Chapter
Every Wednesday some of our members take a hike on one of the many trails in CNY. The Wednesday hikes welcome new participants. The participants decide where to go, based on weather and individual schedules. The first Wednesday of each month during spring, summer and fall is usually devoted to trail maintenance. The trails are south of Syracuse, below Rt 80 in general, the Onondaga trail, FLT, and NCT trails give us a variety to choose from. Dress for the weather (in layers). Water and food (light lunch/snack), and any necessities such as raingear are best carried in a small daypack. Walking/hiking poles might be good for balance on rocks and tree roots we encounter, traction spikes and/or snowshoes taken as needed seasonally. Our group is very flexible and we love to be out in the woods for a nice social hike. Contact the leader if weather is questionable or any other questions arise. Hope to see you on a Wednesday hike. Must contact leader to confirm meeting time and location.

It's the annual "Go With The Snow" ski outing over the Martin Luther King Jr Birthday weekend. We'll stay in a comfortable motel or shared house near numerous cross country skiing destinations in north-central NY State's Tug Hill and southwestern Adirondack regions.
We'll be skiing on groomed and track-set snow at Nordic centers within an hour's drive from where we'll be staying. Trail fees will be about $20 to $25 per person, per day, but a couple of community XC ski centers are free of charge (grooming and all). This will be a joint outing with the AMC NY-NoJ Chapter Ski Committee.
Participants should bring their own pre-prepared food to heat and eat, especially if we stay in a house-share. If the group stays in a motel, there will be the option to eat at a nearby restaurant. The accommodations will be determined depending on the size of the group.
There is no public transportation to this area. Participants will need to drive or arrange for their own transportation.
