About us
Welcome to Packbasket Adventures!
Located in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains in Wanakena, NY.
We are an old-fashioned wilderness lodge and retreat center where outdoor lovers come together to explore the beauty of nature through activities such as meditative walking, hiking, fishing, kayaking, birding or just sitting near the fire.
Unleash your creative side and join us for various types of mindful drawing experiences and guided nature walks. Come for a whole retreat or join us for the day.
Just wanna get away? Grab some friends and book the lodge. The four bedroom lodge boasts an incredible Great Room, Study, riverfront dining space, screened porch and excellent fishing. Scrumptious nutritious meals will be tailored for you!
Packbasket Adventures. Join us for adventure, relaxation, and a sense of community unlike any other. You are welcome and wanted.
