Tupper
Lake also features a natural waterslide on the Bog

of cliffs for the more adventurous.
"Tupper Lake is one big
launch ramp for the Ten Rivers Recreational Area, where you can hike
3,352-foot Ampersand Mountain, fish for trout on the slow-flowing
Raquette River, or shoot Class V rapids in the Hudson River Gorge --
and be surrounded by all the beauty you could ask for."

Golfing The
Adirondack Park is home to many wonderful golf courses. Our favorite
golf course, just a mile up the mountain, the Tupper Lake Country Club
features an 18 hole Donald Ross designed course built in 1932. The
course is well-maintained, open to the public and very reasonably priced.
Lake Placid, Saranac Lake, Inlet and Old Forge also feature excellent
courses and make for easy day trips. Click here to visit the
Tupper Lake Country Club
Events in Tupper Lake Tupper Lake offers several events and attractions throughout
the summer including: The
Tupper Lake Regatta, The
Woodsmen's Days, Tinman Triathlon,
Thunder Over
Tupper Lake. And Tupper Lake is on
the move! In the Summer of 2006, the Natural History Museum of the
Adirondacks will open in Tupper
Lake. It promises to be a first rate attraction. Tupper Lakers
are also working hard to rebuild the local train station for service by
the Adirondack Railroad and a public observatory. To find out more about
the Town of Tupper Lake and all of its events visit the Chamber of Commerce.
All of the following are
easy half-day or full-day excursions from the camp:

There are a few places to rent canoes & kayaks on Tupper Lake itself. From our dock you have
immediate access to over 30 miles of contiguous waterways on Big Tupper Lake,
the Raquette River, Simond Pond and Raquette Pond. You may also moor your
motorboat at the camp (rentals are available on the lake) for fishing,
waterskiing or cruising. Coccia Pines is located in the
heart of the Adirondack State Park's
Ten Rivers Region. Needless
to say, the area offers some of the best canoeing and kayaking opportunities in
the Park. Racquette
River Outfitters, just a mile down the road, can outfit and transport you
for longer trips on the nearby Raquette
River or on numerous lakes (including beautiful Little Tupper Lake) just

Did
You Know? The Adirondack Park contains the headwaters for five major
basins: Lake Champlain and the Hudson, Black, St. Lawrence and Mohawk
rivers. Within the park are 3,000 lakes and ponds and 30,000 miles
of rivers streams and brooks.
Several Mountain peaks and
wilderness lakes can be hiked within short drives of the camp. We can
recommend several of our favorites including: a walk to the beach on Middle
Saranac Lake, the peak of Coney
Mountain at the southern end of Tupper Lake and,
our favorite, the firetower on Mt. Arab (just on the other side
of the Village of Tupper Lake). For the more ambitious there is the High
Peaks Wilderness Area within easy driving distance (only 16 miles by car) for
day or overnight adventures. Click for the Adirondack Mountain Club
