Nature Paddle on Lake Everest — Celebrating Adirondack Waters

Join AsRA Staff for a morning interpretive paddle on Lake Everest on Thursday, August 10 as we celebrate Adirondack Water Week. On this trip, we will guide participants through the Ausable Paddling Nature Trail, learning about the history of the region and using our senses to locate and identify birds, insects, fish, and mammals that call the Ausable home. Participants will also learn about invasive species that threaten native plants and wildlife, and how they can take initiative to protect clean water. Canoes or kayaks, paddles, and life jackets will be provided for those who need them. 

Ausable River Association Guided Watershed Tours

For the fifth year in a row, the Ausable River Association is happy to offer Guided Watershed Tours. Join their staff and expert guest naturalists for outdoor education programming featuring diverse ecological themes in the Ausable, Boquet, and Saranac River watersheds. Watershed tours are designed to engage local citizens of all ages in outdoor recreational activities, while also inspiring participants to be active stewards of their local environment. Celebrate or kindle your appreciation for the natural beauty of the northern Adirondacks and leave with a better understanding of what threatens our local environment - and what you can do to protect these biodiverse habitats.
