Springtime Luminaria Walk at Lonely Hill Trail
Enjoy the springtime sound of peepers on a family-friendly walk.
Luminarias light up an Adirondack trail.
Champlain Area Trails (CATS) hosts a luminaria walk at Lonely Hill Trail. At this time of year, Adirondack peepers fill the swamp with mating calls, adding a special soundtrack to this twilight walk.
Luminarias are simple paper lanterns made by placing a votive candle in some sand inside a paper bag. The CATS team will place the glowing lanterns along the 0.5-mile out-and-back trail through a primarily coniferous forest in a low-lying area near McCrea Swamp.
Trails will be illuminated from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm. Come anytime during these hours to walk and enjoy the luminaria experience.
If you plan to attend, CATS asks you to register to reserve a space at the event. Visit the CATS website for more information.
What is a peeper?
The spring peeper is a small frog widespread throughout the eastern United States and Canada. It earned its name because of the chirping call it makes that marks the beginning of spring.
The chirping calls play a significant role in mating communication, as the females of the species select their mates based on the frequency and volume of the calls. Satellite males, who do not produce any peeps, position themselves strategically near those who make louder calls in an attempt to intercept females.

It’s early morning, and the mist hovers above the glassy surface of your favorite Adirondack lake, undisturbed but for the rhythmic dip of your paddle. The only sound is the gentle ripple of water breaking against your canoe. The air is crisp, carrying the scent of pine and the promise of another perfect day in the Adirondacks. Your worries are left ashore, traded for the serenity that only paddling these waters can provide.
You’re not just wearing any shirt. You’re donning an invitation to adventure, to explore the thousand lakes and secret inlets of the North Country.
Our Adirondack Paddler’s Long-Sleeve Tee is made of the softest cotton. It's perfect for layering or wearing on its own. It’s designed for those who know the joy of a paddling in the Adirondacks, who’ve felt the thrill of a canoe gliding silently through mirror-still waters.
This ultra-cotton long-sleeve tee is perfect for Adirondack paddlers of all kinds—canoers, kayakers, SUPs, guide boaters and more. It is a clear comfort winner in any season.
There are no side seams for a relaxed fit. The shoulders are taped for improved durability. We love that the cotton used for these shirts is environmentally friendly.
