CAMPING

Camping is permitted on state lands, and these areas offer numerous locations for overnight camping and day use. Leantos are for the temporary use of overnight travelers and unless caught in a storm, they should not be used for more than one night. Canoesist should be prepared and carry their own tents in the event that leanto space is not available. In the event of cold weather, or buggy conditions a leanto is not the recommended form of overnight shelter.

When camping on State land, larger groups must obtain an interior use camping permit for any overnight use (larger groups are defined as approximately 6-12 people). Smaller groups and individuals also require a permit from the DEC if they use the same location for more than three nights in a row. You need to get these permits in advance from the area forest ranger, whose address is available from the DEC.

More formal camping is available at several public campgrounds located along the Adirondack Canoe Route. when camping at a DEC State Campground, the following should be considered. Where there is a caretaker on duty, there will be a camping fee, or day use/picnic fee charged.

Please remember when visiting the area to respect private landowners rights and Do Not Tresspass.
