Adirondacks Travel Tips

The Adirondacks was the first great preserved wilderness, and it's still the one closest to home for New York's metropolitan hordes.
Here you’ll find 3,000 ponds and lakes, 2,000 miles of hiking trail, nearly 100 campgrounds and, of course, the Adirondack Mountains.
The famed Northville-Lake Placid Trail is good for hiking, and many of its 133 miles also are suitable for ungroomed, backcountry skiing. The section from Benson to Silver Lake Lean-to is a well-graded 6.3 mile climb, which means an easy 6.3 mile return.
A thin blue line on the map separates the Adirondacks from the world of madcap development. The park covers six million acres—an area larger than the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, and Yosemite combined.
This huge region of six million acres is a fly fisherman's paradise. Vie for trout, bass, salmon, pike, and bass on rivers, ponds, and lakes suiting the desires of the angler.

Are there any "real" log cabins for rent near Lake George? We are looking to take a late fall or early winter weekend in Lake George and are looking for a real log cabin with a fireplace and 2 bedrooms to rent within about 30 mins of Lake George Village. Any ideas or suggestions?
