Adirondack Cabins for Rent Year Round and NY Cross Country Skiing

Find all this and more at Lapland Lake Nordic Vacation Center located near Northville, NY in
the Town of Benson just 60 miles from Albany. We're tucked away in the scenic, peaceful south-central
region of New York's famed six-million acre Adirondack Forest Preserve.

Nestled against the stunning backdrop that is Upstate New York's six-million-acre Adirondack Forest Preserve, Lapland Lake Nordic Vacation Center provides a simple and serene setting for families and friends to join together for relaxation, recreation and fun.

Visit us and you’ll have the opportunity to experience something that’s quite rare in today’s über-busy, hurry-up world: the gentle and restful wonders of nature in our welcoming Nordic atmosphere, reminiscent of Finnish Lapland.

Founded in 1978 by former U.S. Olympic cross country skier Olavi Hirvonen, Lapland Lake is a four-season vacation center, complete with Adirondack cabins for rent.

Ann and Olavi recently sold Lapland Lake to Kathy and Paul Zahray. The Hirvonens will remain on for a significant period of time to assist the Zahrays in all areas of resort operation. Kathy and Paul extend their friendship to you and offer their warmest welcome to Lapland Lake!

Visit our Adirondack Resort and you’ll enjoy:

Winter ...
• The ideal time to enjoy Lapland Lake for a day trip or for an overnight excursion.
• Cross-country skiing in and around the resort, as well as ice-skating, snowshoeing, snow tubing and kick sledding.

Spring, Summer & Fall ...
• Our private, sandy beach and crystal clear, non-motor 70-acre spring fed lake to swim, kayak, canoe and fish.
• Sightings of loons, beaver, ducks, herons, and kingfishers along the lake, one that’s surrounded by forests of hardwood and pines.
• Biking and hiking opportunities are plentiful and are especially spectacular in the fall as crisp autumn temperatures create outstanding foliage displays.

Year round ...
• Adirondack cottages tucked within hundreds of carefully managed wooded acres.
• Warm hospitality in cozy and comfortable surroundings in an idyllic setting that’s open each season of the year.

Lapland Lake is conveniently located in the southern portion of the Adirondack Forest Preserve approximately four hours from New York City, Montreal and Boston.
