Adirondack Scenic Railroad

Chugga Chugga Choo Choo: Right through the Adirondacks.

Sometimes a tagline really captures the heart of an an experience. The Adirondack Scenic Railroad, is in fact, way more than just a train ride While there are four stations, (Utica, Thendara, Lake Placid and Saranac Lake) the Utica station is the one that is bustling with magic and specialty train experiences. Everything from the Polar Express train that captures the spirit of the classic storybook to a retro Soda Shoppe ride. There are experiences that capture the soul of visitors looking to experience the beautiful nature of the Adirondacks by encouraging riders to pack their tents, kayaks and imaginations. You can ride with the Easter bunny or capitalize on all the forms of transportation that the area has to offer by departing off the train and taking a shuttle to a lake cruise ship in Old Forge. Check out all the stations and all the options. The only thing that should be tied down is the tracks!
