For the Audubon enthusiasts, the adjoining woods,
water and island attract numerous species of birds. In
the area you may also see mink, otter, beaver, bear or
maybe moose.
While paddling or boating along the 25 miles of scenic
waterway, you might encounter some of our wildlife
residents, such as: beaver, otter, mink, loons, great blue
heron, and cranes, just to name a few. This is a bird
watcher’s paradise with over 60 different species sighted
in just one week. The back bays of Rainbow Lake offer
tranquil fishing, and solitude, while the main lake gives
way to swimming, boating, water-skiing, sailing, and
canoeing.
Rainbow is a private lake with no public access, stocked
yearly for fishing, and the scenery is classic Adirondacks.
Or take the short carry to Jones Pond and connect to
the St. Regis Canoe area and the Saranac Lake Chain,
which offer additional miles of scenic paddling.
It's only a short ride to the 1932 and 1980 Olympic
venues in Lake Placid, and forty-six of the highest peaks
in the Adirondacks Mountains, including world renown
Whiteface Mountain. If you actually want to get in your
car, sight-seeing and fine shopping is only a short
driving distance. Saranac Lake and Lake Placid offer
numerous activities for the sports enthusiast and
shopper alike to appreciate every season.
