Spring fling! It’s time to get into the mountains- Adirondacks that is.

Spring has certainly sprung.  If you want to get away for Easter with the family, are a student on Spring Break or belong to a fishing or hiking club…. find adventure or experience the quiet solitude of the Adirondack State Park, Blue Mt Lake is the perfect venue.

But while you are there go to explore- hike, bike, fish or go white water rafting.

Blue Mt is one of the highest peaks in the Adirondacks just under 3,800 feet, fantastic for hiking or mountain biking.  The New York State trails are everywhere,  leading to you moderate trails for novices or steep terrain for the truly experienced.

Go Fishing. It’s trout season and less than 15 minutes from your lodging facility are 7 lakes.  Blue Mt Lake, Eagle, Durant, Indian, Adirondack, Long & Raquette Lakes stock a colorful variety of species of fish including: small and large mouth bass, land locked salmon, northern pike, brook, brown and lake trout, bullhead, pumpkin seed, smelt, red breast sunfish, whitefish, yellow perch – ideal for any angler,  family outing or just a peaceful jaunt on the water.

If you want a little more action try whitewater rafting.  Exhilarating white water will cruise you past scenic gorges, blue iced mountain faces and pine covered high peaks. – tiz the season for these effervescent flows, the winter melt off is happening right now and will continue into lake spring and summer.  There are three rafting companies in Indian Lake where you can sign up for a ride of a lifetime especally if you grab a raft on a level 4-6 rapid.   Students on spring break get special perks on this one because your anticipation and enthusiasm is felt right through the hospitality industry.  But you don’t have to be young to do the whitewater, just young a heart. Come on give it a shot!

To recreate & have fun you’ll need lodging.  Check out all the facilities in Blue Mt Lake, in particular the comfortable lodgning at Blue Mt Rest.  “The Rest” as it is known in this region is running spring specials for all of these activities.  Contact the proprietor Lenny Baglieri by phone 845.236.4071 or thru his web site www.bluemountainrest.com .  The accommodations sleep up to 34 people, have fully equipped kitchens, Direct TV, DVD, internet services, outdoor fire pits and some have fireplaces as well.  Bed down… then have your Spring Fling in the mountains,  Adirondack style!

Record snows means awesome early spring rapids- White Water Rafting in the Adirondacks

Near record snows have fallen in the central and upper Adirondack region this winter. This will certainly kick off one of the most exciting HIGH WATER spring WHITE WATER RAFTING seasons in years.

Deep snow still blankets most of the region in the High Peaks near Lake Placid as well as the central areas in Long Lake, Blue Mt Lake and Indian Lake.

Tons of winter snow and warm temps means swift water, some experts are predicting class 4 and maybe even class 5 rapids in April.

Experience the thrill… contact Adirondack Rafting Co, ask for Bob or Terri @ 1-800-510 Raft or Adventure Sports where you can talk to John or Bonnie @518-648-5812 in Indian Lake. Take a 17 mile jaunt down some of the most beautiful topography and natural landscapes anywhere. Steep valley drops and scenic blue ledge ice walls will dot this early spring adventure.

For lodging contact Lenny at Blue Mt Rest. BMR in Blue Mt Lake has group lodging for up to 32 people. Ask about his Whitewater Rafting Special where you not only can get up to 25% off lodging rates in April, if you are a student get bonus discounts with a high school or college ID.
