Trail Log

Few sounds capture the wild soul of the Adirondacks like the eerie, echoing call of the Common Loon. For generations of campers, paddlers, and early risers, the calls of loons drifting across still waters at dawn or dusk have defined the soundtrack of summer in the North Country.

Celebrate summer in Lake George at the 9th Annual Adirondack Wine & Food Festival, June 29–30, 2025. Enjoy tastings from 120+ vendors, live music, demos, and more!


With a crisp breeze rustling through the pines and golden sunlight breaking through the clouds, we pulled into the parking lot of The Wild Center in Tupper Lake, ready for a day of Adirondack adventure—this time, with our 15-month-old explorer-in-training, Reed, leading the way.
