Waterfront Adirondack sites in canoe country.

One of the Adirondacks’ biggest campgrounds, with most of its 355 sites right on the sandy shores of Fish Creek Pond and Square Pond. Waterfront sites let you launch a canoe from camp and paddle out toward Upper Saranac Lake, the St. Regis Canoe Area is a few miles north, and Rollins Pond’s quieter loops are next door. Best for paddlers and families who want to camp on the water; book early for July and August.
