Or if snowmobiling is your passion, the Towns of Inlet and Webb trail
system offers hundreds of miles of professionally groomed trails, where
accommodations and eateries are easily accessible. Known as the
“Snowmobile Capital of the East,” the trail system attracts snowmobilers
from all over the country. Many of these snowmobile trails are also open in
the summer to hikers and mountain bikers, allowing visitors an opportunity to
enjoy the beauty of the Adirondacks while testing their skills on unique and
diverse terrain. Thus, hiking, mountain biking, primitive backpacking and inseason big game hunting fill the forest space around us. Numerous flat-water

Horseback Riding - Riding is very popular
in the Adirondacks. The stable in Inlet, Adirondack Saddle Tours, is well qualified to give
beginners or experts an enjoyable equine experience. All excursions are led by experienced
horsemen. Instructions are given prior to each

signed in order to participate. Rides vary from
45 minutes to all day special arrangements
can be made to have cookouts, camp over or

horseback riding adventure will include a 1 hour
excursion or for the more adventurous, or a 2
hour ride might be more what you’re looking
for. Spend your time entirely on a horse or just
relaxing by the pond listening to the sounds of
a working ranch under a big old shade tree. It’s
group therapy, as some may say, if you want to
spoil it by getting scientific. It’s better known
around here as a heckuva good time!

Visitor Center for maps and parking locations.

e invite you to visit the Central area of the Adirondacks. Here you can forget
your worries watching the sunset from an Adirondack chair at one of our lakeside
resorts or in a remote lean to backpack camping. You might just row rhythmically
in a traditional guide boat or rediscover your youth
on a scenic seaplane, on horseback, or paddling a canoe
through our part of the Adirondacks . . .
