Join us for a ski or snowshoe during Camp Santanoni's annual Winter Weekends! On January 17-18, February 14-15, and March 14-15 (Saturdays and Sundays), explore the Main Lodge, view displays about the Great Camp, and take short interpretive tours with Adirondack Architectural Heritage volunteers. Buildings will be open to the public from 10-3. The event provides a rare opportunity to go inside buildings and meet guides during the winter months. The 10-mile round trip on gently rolling terrain will take you past the Santanoni Farm and through the Forest Preserve on a wide, old road (no vehicle access). The Artist’s Studio, a stone building near the Main Lodge on the shores of Newcomb Lake, will be open as a warming hut. Enjoy free coffee, tea, or hot chocolate by the woodstove.
Visitors are required to use skis or snowshoes on this trail in winter, and this year the AIC will loan out complimentary snowshoes for any visitors without their own. Snowshoes will be available at Newcomb Pines (5699 Route 28N), located across the road from the Santanoni Preserve, starting at 9 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday of each Winter Weekend.
Event hosted by Adirondack Architectural Heritage, NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, the Town of Newcomb, and the Adirondack Interpretive Center.
NOTE: Winter conditions can change quickly in the backcountry. Be prepared with extra warm clothing and adequate supplies for your trip.
