About the Series
Raquette Lake got its name from the French word for snowshoe. Knowing that the weather cannot be predicted and winter everchanging, the name, Rough Raquette seemed appropriate. All proceeds from the event will go toward the historic preservation efforts at Camp Huntington, also known as, Camp Pine Knot.

Camp Pine Knot is the first Great Camp of the Adirondacks and was originally built by William West Durant beginning in the mid-1870s. The original log and bark-sided structures have held up well, but need constant upkeep and preservation to ensure they are here for future generations.

Winter Birding Weekend in the Adirondacks!
Saturday & Sunday, January 28-29, 2023

Enjoy a weekend of birding trips in the Adirondacks this winter. Participants will look for winter irruptive species such as Bohemian Waxwings, Evening Grosbeaks, and Pine Grosbeaks, along with year-round boreal residents such as Ruffed Grouse, Black-backed Woodpecker, Canada Jay, and Boreal Chickadee. There is a bumper seed crop on the Ash Trees which has already enticed large numbers of Evening Grosbeaks into the Adirondacks this fall. While cones are in short supply this winter, there is an abundance of fruit to attract Bohemian Waxwings and Pine Grosbeaks. And of course, we will be on the lookout for northern owls also!

Field Trips: Joan Collins will lead field trips on both days. Both Saturday and Sunday morning, meet outside the Adirondack Hotel at 7 a.m. (near the bridge over Long Lake on Route 30). Participants can drive in their own vehicles, or car-pool, if they are comfortable, to reduce the number of cars in the train.

Social Dinner: This year, we are once again adding a social dinner back into the weekend plan! On Saturday evening, we can gather in the Adirondack Hotel dining room at 6 p.m. to enjoy a meal together.

Registration is required to attend the field trips. Call the Long Lake Parks and Recreation Department at 518-624-3077 to register. There is a maximum of 25 participants for each field trip.
