Emprunter un bateau
The ADKX boathouse is open July – September
Experience the Adirondacks from the water at Minnow Pond, our serene “gem in the wilderness” suitable for the entire family. Our boathouse features a premier collection of historical watercraft, including iconic Adirondack guideboats. While boating experience is required to row a guideboat, visitors can also enjoy our vintage wood-canvas canoes, traditional skiffs, and modern pack boats.
Our staff will assist in selecting the best boat for your skill level, from novice to expert. Because these boats require specialized restoration and care, availability is limited and subject to change.
Admission to the museum is required to access the boathouse; however, this experience is included with the cost of your admission.
