Explore the Adirondack coast's striking natural landscape on horseback! Visit the Adirondack Equine Center at Ausable Chasm any time of year for a horseback or sleigh ride through the countryside.

In the Champlain Valley, riders of all ages can journey through the region's gorgeous woodlands. Riders are taken out by a knowledgeable trail guide who leads the way, provides assistance and answers questions. Prior to every ride, riders have an orientation lesson to cover safety and basic horsemanship.

The equine center is open every day in the winter and offers scenic Adirondack sleigh rides at the Lake Placid Club Golf Course. With an exceptional backdrop featuring the Adirondack High Peaks and the Lake Placid Ski Jumps, you'll enjoy a lantern-lit ride in a deluxe and comfortable sleigh—with a covered top for bad weather!

Leave No Trace and Love Your ADK

The magic of the Adirondacks is the result of previous generations taking a long view and protecting the mountains, lakes, and rivers within the Blue Line. That tradition continues today as we support and encourage everyone to practice Leave No Trace ethics, which help protect the lands and waters of the Adirondacks.
