There’s something magnificent about an all-inclusive retreat—and it’s even better if it’s located somewhere filled with history and nature. The Adirondack region is famed for the Great Camps, huge family compounds built in the late 1800s that served as vacation homes for the wealthy. Few of these lodges that remain are open to the public today, but Lake Clear Lodge and Retreat is one that is. 

Located along the beautiful 940-acre Lake Clear, this is an ideal spot for relaxing or fishing. You can head out on a canoe and enjoy a peaceful day on the water.
