  • Fish Hatchery Road Saranac Lake, NY, 12983 United States (map)

Join us for a 4- hour guided paddle on Little Green Pond and Little Clear Pond to learn about the loons that live there! For this event, the Paul Smith’s College VIC hosts Jen Denny, ACLC’s Education Coordinator, who will lead this special loon observation trip.

In a small group setting conducive to social distancing, we will learn about the fascinating lives of loons that travel to the Adirondacks each year to nest and raise their young, as well as the conservation concerns that affect loons and the aquatic ecosystems where they live.
