Adirondack Little Tupper Lake - Lake Lila

Little Tupper Lake is located between Tupper Lake and Long Lake in the William C. Whitney Wilderness Area, which was recently purchased by New York State and is now the largest motorless lake in the Adirondacks. This lake is suitable for daytrips and overnights for both canoes and kayaks. Camping on the lake is first come, first serve. Little Tupper Lake has one access point located on the northern shore. For true adventurers, one could make the traverse to Lake Lila via Rock Pond, Hardigan Pond, Salmon Lake Outlet, Lilypad Pond, and Shingle Shanty Brook. It has been done, but not by many.

Lake Lila is a large motorless lake west of Little Tupper Lake suitable for canoes and kayaks, daytrips and overnights. The access point is on the northeastern shore and involves a short carry to the water. Lake Lila offers great camping. Many of the first come, first serve sites have sandy beaches. From Lake Lila, hike up Fredrica Mountain or explore Shingle Shanty Brook. Lake Lila is a great place for the whole family to get away from it all.
