Welcome to one of the most exclusive addresses in all of THE Adirondack Park. Camp Meenahga is built around ideal lakefront - gently sloped, south facing lawn gives way to stunning waterfront access on one of the most untouched residential landscapes. Connected by water to Rainbow Lake/Buck Pond/Kushuqua, Camp Meenahga sits on 21 acres of woods and meadows, and is just one of four properties on Clear Pond - the rest is forest preserve and land under conservation easement. Envision fog rising from the glassy waters while you sip your coffee, your days on the water, and evenings having a family-style pizza party with your private wood-burning oven. Offered exclusively by Adirondack Vacations, Camp Meenahga is a sure bet of having a quintessential Adirondack experience.
Camp Meenahga has three main structures, the Tree House, the Bunk House, and the Boathouse.

An architecturally stunning central lodge, known for its massive tree trunk column in the great room. The Tree House is an updated lodge with a fully equipped chef's kitchen. This lodge is perfect for gathering; a comfortable spot for eating, reading, watching movies or just plain relaxing. Tucked away on the upper deck is a light-filled sunroom, perfect for laying down and watching the stars or sleeping in seclusion. There is one bathroom located in this lodge. The Tree House offers a gorgeous outdoor living space for relaxing and dining along with a wood-burning fireplace, ideal for our beloved cool summer evenings.
