About Lapland Lake Nordic Vacation Center.

Lapland Lake Road, nine miles north of Northville and the Great Sacandaga, in the southern Adirondacks. Lapland Lake is the family-run Finnish-themed Nordic center that's operated as a winter destination for decades; the Finnish vocabulary (the cottages are called tupas) is the owners' background, not a marketing gimmick. The winter operation is the headline. Groomed cross-country tracks run across a private trail network, with both classic and skate options, plus rentals and lessons through the on-site shop. Day passes and season passes available. Snowshoe use is allowed on designated trails. Onsite food service and a retail shop handle the rest of the day. Lodging is in the tupas: stand-alone Finnish-style cottages around the property, available year-round. The center stays open in summer for hiking and lodging on the same trail system, with the trails ungroomed and the audience smaller. Best for southern Adirondack travelers who want a Nordic week without driving to Lake Placid for the Olympic venues; the price and the crowd both run lower here.
§ Editor’s Note

Long-loved southern-ADK Nordic destination. Cabins fill fast in February — book early.
