The Vision of the owner of this property was to create a safe haven
and retreat for himself and his family in a modern day Adirondack
Great Camp. He chose this lake for its unique third dimensional
view of the Islands in the lake between his shoreline with the
mountains in the background. His interest in wooden boats was an
added advantage in choosing this lake because its sailboats, "The
Idem", a class of boat only sailed on this lake, along with a wide
variety of antique wooden sailboats and powerboats, which add to the
uniqueness of this lake. The following are the many amenities that
maximize the Adirondack experience for family and guests.
Upper St. Regis Lake is a mountain lake and is a chain of three lakes. It is also the headwater for the St. Regis River that flows from this lake to the St. Lawrence Seaway and the ocean. This lake has portages to permit canoeing from this property to several miles of trails to Saranac Lake and the St. Regis River. It is 30 minutes to Village of Saranac Lake and 45 minutes to Lake Placid home of the 1932 and 1980 Olympics and Whiteface Mountain, a world-renowned ski resort with the largest vertical drop in the Northeast. Adirondack Regional Airport is 15 minutes away and can accommodate commercial and corporate jet aircraft.This property is located in Upstate New York's Adirondack Park which has helped to controlled the growth and development, and maintain the area in its original, pristine condition. This self-contained retreat is made up of 14+ acres with 1000 +/- feet of lake front on the exclusive Upper St. Regis Lake of the Adirondacks. The camp’s five main buildings and other outbuildings are described below.
