Experience the Adirondacks the Way They Were Meant to Be Seen — By Canoe
The Adirondack Park was shaped by water — and there is no better way to experience it than from the seat of a canoe.
At Adirondack Mountain & Stream Guide Service, we offer guided canoe trips ranging from relaxed half-day paddles to multi-day wilderness canoe camping adventures. Whether you’re looking to explore quiet ponds, paddle scenic lakes, travel classic river routes, or combine your trip with backcountry fishing, we tailor every experience to your goals.
For those who prefer, we also offer guided kayak trips and lightweight packboat options.
Perfect for:
Families
First-time paddlers

Single overnight excursions
Two- and three-day wilderness loops
