Camping, Hiking and Paddling Weekend

Come for a weekend getaway to Fish Creek Pond -- considered the finest and most attractive of all the Adirondack campgrounds, Fish Creek Pond Campground offers a natural sand shoreline and water access for most campsites. The pristine rivers and ponds are accessible to both motorized and non-motorized boats. There is also great hiking nearby.

Come for the day or stay for the whole weekend. You can camp, paddle, or hike.

I’ll be out on the water paddleboarding all three days and will teach an introduction to paddleboarding on Saturday.

Bring your own gear or a SUP/canoe/kayak if you prefer. Rentals may be available — call ahead to confirm.
