Lake Clear Lodge Property
We are located on 25 acres with nature trails, secluded swimming beach, and one of the world's most spectacular mountain-lake sunsets.
Hohmeyer's Lake Clear Lodge and our Adirondack Alps experience is literally in the epicenter of the St. Regis Wilderness region - the largest intact wilderness area east of the Mississippi - and largely undiscovered. We believe it is also the "capitol" of the Adirondacks with an unfathomable recreational, cultural, historical and environmental diversity. Out of your handcrafted lodging you are minutes away from unparalleled solitude or internationally recognized cultural and sporting events.

Hohmeyer's Lake Clear Lodge and our Adirondack Alps experience resides on 25 acres of which 3 acres are on Lake Clear, the 28th largest lake in New York State (approx. 2 mi. circumference). There are a 12 buildings with incredible amenities spread throughout the property including:

- Three Supp & Snooze Rooms: each with a different motif but all with their own private bath. Symbolizing their diverse nature they each have their own individual name: Birch, Canopy, and Pine.
- Five Secluded, Romantic Chalets: Each with fireplace, handcrafted living rooms and beautiful decks - miniature great camps! They are respectively named Writers, Guides, April Melody, November Moon and Sundown.
- Lakeside Vacation Rentals: We believe the view of the quiet lake as it faces directly west offers the most spectacular sunsets in the Adirondacks. Our hand-crafted vacation rentals are called the Guesthouse where you can rent the entire house or one of two floors named Loons Watch and Woodsmoke and the Lakehouse that is uniquely designed for guests of 2-12 with individual room names such as Reflections, Great Camp and Sunset Pine.

Birds, trees, flora, fauna, fish, wildlife and our resident deers, loons, ducks and bald eagle are just a sampling of what is right in front of you without going anywhere off the property.

- Lake Clear
Is a unique body of water as it is the dividing line between those waters that run north and those that run east and south. The rivers that run to the North go to the St. Lawrence River that separates the United States from Canada and connects the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean. The waters that run east and south flow to Lake Champlain that borders New York State with Vermont and New England and south to the Hudson River and beyond. It is 65ft. at its deepest point and is approximately 1.5 to 2 miles in circumference. It is excellent for boating, fishing (the famous lure "the Lake Clear Wobbler is named from it), wind surfing, birding, swimming, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling and contemplation.
- The St. Regis Wilderness Area
The 58 bodies of water of the St. Regis Canoe Area form the headwaters of three rivers: the Middle Branch and West Branch of the St. Regis River, and the Saranac River. It is an area where one can escape civilization and find an Adirondacks not much different than before human incursions. With such a vast array of ponds, lakes, rivers and streams, the St. Regis Canoe Area offers some of the best 4-season recreation in New York State. In the summer enjoy exclusive non-motorized boating and in the winter, miles of back country hiking, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling.
