Lantern-lit Adirondack Sleigh Rides

The only lantern-lit trail sleigh rides in the Adirondacks! Meander over nature trails and to the shores of serene Lake Clear, lit by real kerosene lanterns. Plus, relive history with a unique 1920s Speakeasy Dinner Experience.

Imagine When Sleighs Were a Lifeblood of Winter

Ride with a local farm on a beautiful wooden sleigh as it journeys through the Lodge's lantern-lit wooded trails while the stars show the way to the lake. Step back in time to when the Lake Clear Lodge operated in the Prohibition days, where they transported both people and the "spirits" of the woods via sleigh!

The Lake Clear Lodge partners with a local farm to offers sleigh rides 25-minutes from Lake Placid and 15-minutes from Saranac Lake.
