Adirondak Loj
Appearance
Adirondak Loj is a historic lodge near Lake Placid in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State. The Loj, built in 1927, is currently owned and operated by the Adirondack Mountain Club. Located on the shore of Heart Lake, it is at the trailhead of the most popular trails to Mount Marcy and Algonquin Peak, the two highest peaks in the Adirondacks. Accommodations are in the form of private rooms and bunkrooms, and meals are available as well.
Spelling
The spelling of the building's name was decided by a previous owner Melville Dewey, founder of the Lake Placid Club who was an advocate of phonics.[1]
