Avalanche Lake is a delightful destination for Adirondack Mountains vacations. Avalanche Lake is located at the bottom of Avalanche Pass in between Avalanche Mountain and the MacIntyre Range. Outdoorsmen, photographers, and families love the crisp air, natural seclusion, and remoteness of the lake. The mile long lake is home to skiers during the winter and extreme hikers in the summer. The trail is rugged and will test the endurance of experienced hikers. Leave the wife and kids by the beautiful lake for this one. The trail borders the western side of the mountain and can add exercise to Adirondack Mountain vacations.
