We had a fantastic private guided Kayak half day trip and would highly recommend it! ADK Lakes and Trails was wonderful to work with every step of the way. Rich arranged it for us and was extremely helpful both emailing and talking on the phone. When it was the day before our paddle, he called to work out changing our time because of storms predicted. When we arrived for our paddle everyone was extremely friendly and Jeff, our guide, had already scouted out where he wanted to take us so we had the best experience. This was our 4 year old’s first time kayaking and we weren’t sure how long she would last doing it but Jeff interacted with her and kept her engaged the whole time.

Excellent experience renting SUPs. Mounting the boards on our car (we don’t have a rack) was easier than expected and gave us the option to go to a pond with less wind (Moose Pond - highly recommend for SUP! Just the right size and gorgeous). Nick was especially helpful and gave great recommendations not just for where to go paddling, but other highlights for hiking/restaurants in the area.

My wife and I enjoyed a full day, guided canoe trip with ADK Lakes & Trails Outfitters. The staff, Matt & Rich were professional, polite and put my wife and I at ease upon arrival. Our guide, Rich, was very knowledgeable of the area, able to answer most if not all of questions we had throughout the day. All-in-all a perfect day of canoeing and enjoying the outdoors. We will definitely be heading back for another trip and highly recommend this outfitter to anyone, regardless of experience level. Doesn't get better than this. Thanks, Ed & Lisa Cunliffe of Lancaster. PA

Thank you to Rich from ADK Outfitters, who enabled us to have a wonderful day kayaking in brilliant sunshine and peaceful tranquility on Lower Saranac Lake.
At very short notice we were able to arrange kayak hire with all the required equipment, including transport. Rich gave us lots of information and guidance for our self-guided outing, much appreciated
We will definitely use ADK Outfitters again, when we return.
Another bonus, they operate a well stocked shop with great equipment, check it out.

We booked our canoe online, picked it up, and off we went to Middle Saranac Lake (recommended by friends) to enjoy a sunny day canoeing and playing with our dog on one of the beaches. Thanks to ALTO for setting us up with the perfect Kevlar canoe. This outfitter is the best. Last year they gave us great advice on how to find a quiet lake to paddle and see wildlife. These guys know their stuff. Highly recommend.

We had a great 4-day canoe trip from Old Forge to the Hedges on Blue Mountain Lake. We did the side excursion to the Sagamore great camp, which was well worth it. Mostly great weather with one day of on/off rain, which wasn't really a problem. The support was great; Joe and crew made all of the arrangements and provided input and additional support when needed. All with a smile and good sense of humor.
We (2 couples in our mid 60s) portaged the 40+ lb kevlar canoes on our shoulders, which wasn't a problem. Occasional beaver dams on some of the smaller streams provided interesting but easily navigated challenges. The canoeing itself was not strenuous.
I'm told that there used to be more opportunities for hotel-to-hotel canoe trips in the Adirondacks, but that hotel closings in the region have limited the opportunity. It's a shame, because it really is a great way to see the Adirondacks without the additional work needed for camping. This trip is a great remaining example.
The trip, and Adirondack Lakes & Trails, are highly recommended.

Adirondacks Lakes & Trails Outfitters ( ALTO) was organized, efficient, and friendly. Their equipment met or exceeded my expectations. Paddles, PFD,s and tiedowns were standard equipment, the 16 ft canoe we rented however was higher quality and in better shape than what is ordinarily provided. Especially at their very competitive price.
I have done a lot of canoeing and their staff subtly but effectively checked out my knowledge to see if I knew how to load the boat properly. and helped me load. While loading they made a few pointers about how to load differently that reduced the stress on my car roof. I was in and out of both pick up and load in in short order, only delayed by the fact that I enjoyed talking with them.

The service was friendly and efficient. We were delivered with our boats to our destination right on time and were given enough information to make our outing safe and pleasurable. We rented two light weight kayaks and they were a delight to paddle. And of course, the Adirondacks provide a beautiful environment in which to have such an adventure.
