A good place to hunt

If you're a deer hunter you've probably heard about hunting in the vast Adirondack mountains. You've probably heard about the remoteness of it all, the solitude, the rugged terrain, and the chance of encountering the buck of your dreams somewhere up there in the high country.

The Adirondack Hub is an exceptional basecamp for a day of hunting, or even a weekend. This is big country; it's about as big as it gets in New York state. It's the kind of place where a deer can grow old, grow a rack you've always envisioned for your wall, and grow to approach that magical 200-pound field-dressed mark that the locals gauge as a true Adirondack trophy buck.

And it's where hardcore deer hunters make annual pilgrimages every fall, to trek deep into the backcountry, prepared to go one-on-one with that big buck, and also prepared to return safely without getting turned around in the big woods and losing their bearings. You have to know what you're doing up here, but the rewards can be great for the deer hunter who cuts a big track in the snow.

Leave No Trace and Love Your ADK

The magic of the Adirondacks is the result of previous generations taking a long view and protecting the mountains, lakes, and rivers within the Blue Line. That tradition continues today as we support and encourage everyone to practice Leave No Trace ethics, which help protect the lands and waters of the Adirondacks.
