We took a boat tour with Old Forge Lake Cruises as part of a package we booked for the Adirondack…read morerailroad. If you see a package for both, I highly recommend booking it. Once we got off the train, a bus took us right to the cruise location and we got our tickets. The cruise left right on time. The captain provided us with some really interesting facts about the area, and not doing much research beforehand on the cruise I was in awe of how beautiful the lakes were that the cruise went through. The mountains in the background everywhere were amazing. There were drinks and some food for sale on the ship, and the prices were pretty reasonable. The whole cruise was very relaxing and informative, if I was in the area again, I would do this cruise a second time. Once we were done, a bus arrived and took us back to the train - super easy.

Swim paddle fish (get a license) you will be as far away or as close to civilization as you want. Great owner and son. They do motorized historical trips too, so all ages/abilities/interests served here.

This Memorial Day weekend, we were in inlet and Frisky Otter Tours made worth of it…read more They have variety of kayak, canoe and standing paddle boats. Best part was having Connie as our instructor, she is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in her job. We rented a tandom kayak for my family of three. She was very detailed in giving all the instructions, fastening our life jackets and helping us to get into the water comfortably. I had never tried standing paddle boat before and always thought that's the difficult one. When I saw a couple doing that, I got more curious. When I ask if I can try, she offered a beginners one which was easy to balance and then explained all the techniques. She herself did the demo and then let me try that. Initially I was little paranoid of falling down but her continuous encouragement from the shore helped me to get comfortable and stand easily. I spent more than an hour on the standing paddle boat and she didn't charged anything. What was more priceless for me was that her lesson which helped me to learn something new. We were group of three family and all appreciated her effort working with us. So if you are in inlet then this is a MUST visit. Worth every penny.

I highly recommend her for all your kayaking needs!

Gavin the Strong actually jumped into the water and *PUSHED the boat* down to the end of the dock entrance since one of our party was having problems getting out of the boat onto the dock. This a really nice outing to take if you want to do something different and fun. If the water is rough or you can't get back for any reason, they will come get you.

The first time we rented paddle boards to go on Moose River (the ramp to get into the water is right in back of the store). I wouldn't recommended paddle boarding on Moose River though. The water isn't the cleanest, and if you fall in it would be a nightmare lol. $8 and hour to paddleboard on the river, $20 something if you rent a kayak. The second time we rented the paddle boards for the day and went to Nicks Lake (which is a 5 minute drive from Tickners). they drop your paddle boards/ kayaks off at Nicks beach, you just have to sign some quick paperwork and grab life jackets + paddles. It's a $10 admission to get into Nicks Lake but it's pretty much a private beach area with picnic tables, camping, a jungle gym, clean bathrooms, beach area and a life guard. The actual lake was gorgeous. We paddle boarded for 4 ish hours and made it around the entire lake! And the water is clean enough to swim in (it's $28 for the entire day to go on Nicks Lake). I can't wait to come back!
