The term “vacation” originated in the Adirondack Mountains when 19th-century travelers left New York City for fresh mountain air. Today, the AAA Four Diamond-rated Whiteface Lodge offers plenty of activities for family travelers to soak up the fresh air and enjoy the great outdoors. Here are the top 10 things to do this summer at the lodge:
Birds of Prey Encounters
Interact with falcons, hawks and owls with the help of a master falconer. Have the opportunity to hold the birds and learn about their habitats and rehabilitation stories.
Canoe Club
Guests staying at the lodge can enjoy beachside dining and complimentary canoes, kayaks, pedal boats, paddleboards, swimming, volleyball, Badminton, tetherball, bocce ball, horseshoes and life-sized Jenga.
Tarot Readings
Available on select days throughout summer, guests can gain insight into their past, present and future with tarot card readings by a local specialist at Peak 47.
Yoga Classes
Friday and Saturday mornings through August, join complimentary outdoor yoga classes in the courtyard.
Paint and Sip
See who the best artist in the family is at Paint and Sip. Adults can enjoy wine and charcuterie, while kids can have hot cocoa and cookies.
Ice Cream Parlor
Indulge in a sweet treat with delicious ice cream available every day from 5 to 9 p.m.
Sports Courts
Engage in a friendly game of tennis, pickleball, basketball, ladderball or cornhole with the family.
S’mores
Nightly s’mores are a tradition at Whiteface Lodge, so don’t miss an evening of this treat with your family.
