It’s March Madness in the Adirondacks. No, we’re not talking about the NCAA basketball tournament; we’re referring to the time of year when things are muddy and gray with a damp chill in the air. Everyone gets a little cranky, and cabin fever starts to spread.
Luckily, there is no shortage of great stuff to do to get out of the house and shake off the winter blues. In fact, we are amazed at the numerous events and activities happening right now in the traditional “off-season.”
Here are some of our recommendations for this weekend. Be sure to check our events page for complete listings.

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.
