Woodland Walks
Join us for a guided walk along our beautiful Rich Lake Trail every Wednesday and Saturday at 1pm from June 27th through August 29th. The Rich Lake trail is a flat 1 mile loop that winds through various habitats, including a raised boardwalk through a cedar swamp, and offers views of the Goodnow Fire Tower.
Tree ID
Have you ever looked at a tree and wondered “who are you?” The Adirondack Mountains are filled with millions of trees, and even though many look similar, each species has its own unique features. Spend the afternoon with an AIC Naturalist learning how to notice these features and identify key Adirondack trees. With the use of hand lenses, dichotomous keys, and other tools you will never look at a tree the same way again.

Rich Lake Paddle
Spend an hour on the water with an AIC naturalist where you will learn about the creatures that call Rich Lake home. If we are lucky, we may get to watch one of the Rich Lake loons. No paddling experience is necessary; paddles, canoes, and personal flotation devices (PFDs) will be provided. You are welcome to bring your own canoe or kayak as long as it has been cleaned of invasive species.
