The large, forested campsites offer privacy, and the campground offers a variety of recreational opportunities, including canoeing and boating, fishing, hiking, and bicycling.

Location: Lake Durant Campground is located on Lake Durant in the Adirondacks.

Recreation: Boating (please note that smaller boats are recommended as the man-made lake is shallow), fishing, and hiking are popular activities here. Canoe and kayak rentals available. Fish in the lake include tigermuskey, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, sunfish, white sucker, brown bullheads, and brook trout. The campground has an accessible fishing pier.
