Region: 5
Location: Camp Santanoni Historic Area, accessed from the Gate Lodge Parking Area on Newcomb Lake Road, off NY Route 28N.
Camp Santanoni provides a 9.8-mile round-trip cross-country ski excursion. The trail traverses from the Gate Lodge Complex, past the Farm Complex, to the lakeside Main Camp Complex, providing a moderate ski and an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors. Skiers and snowshoers are welcome to recreate on the trail and surrounding DEC lands on any day during the winter.
During the Winter Weekend events, cross-country skiers and snowshoers are invited to visit the Main Lodge, view displays about the great camp, and take interpretive tours with Adirondack Architectural Heritage (AARCH) volunteers. The Gate Lodge vestibule will also be open for visitors.
The Artist's Studio, a stone building near the main lodge on the shores of Newcomb Lake, is open as a warming hut from 10 a.m.–3 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays of each Winter Weekend. Visitors can reheat by the woodstove before heading back outdoors for their return trip.
Beginning at 9 a.m. on event days, the AIC will loan out complimentary snowshoes for anyone without their own at Newcomb Pines, located across the road from the Santanoni Preserve at 5699 Route 28N.
Reservations are not required and there is no cost associated with the events. For more information, contact AARCH at (518) 834-9328 or visit https://dec.ny.gov/places-to-go/camp-santanoni-winter-weekends.
