The Adirondack Mountain Club runs this rustic retreat on the shore of pretty Heart Lake. All rooms in the lodge share communal bathrooms. Rates for rooms in the lodge include breakfast, and since it's 8 miles south of Lake Placid, you'll want to arrange a trail lunch and dinner here, too.
Camping sites, lean-tos and cabins are also available. From here hiking trails take off in all directions, including to nearby Mt Jo.
