Paddle with Loons

Join ACLC staff for a paddling tour of an Adirondack lake to visit with some of our study loons!

 
 

With an emphasis on small groups for responsible wildlife viewing, join us to learn all about loons while observing them in their natural habitats.
All registered paddlers receive a FREE Loon Center t-shirt and free gift!

*Participants are required to bring their own boats. Rental locations listed below.

**Every effort is made to locate and view loons, however, because loons are wild animals and their movements are not controlled, there is always a chance that we will not see loons on a guided paddle.
