Adirondack Guide Services

 

 

With 6 million acres in the park to explore, plus the bountiful neighboring towns, folks are going to need a helping hand getting around to take in the full experience.  Below are charter & guide services, as well as outfitters, sport shops, scenic tours and resources.   Please take your time exploring and be sure to bookmark this page.  

 

"I want as game protectors men of courage, resolution & hardihood who can handle the rifle, axe and paddle; who can camp out in summer or winter; who can go on snowshoes, if necessary; who can go through the woods by day or by night without regard to trails."  Governor Teddy Roosevelt, 1899.

 

Learn about one of our pioneer Guides,  Mitchell Sabattis (1823-1906) was an Abenaki Indian and one of the most famous of Adirondack guides.  He was perhaps the most sought-after guide, still guiding well into his 60s.
