A bit crowded and the parking lot is ramshackle but the skiing is beautiful. The seasonal lodge offers rentals

This was my first visit to Tamarack and I will definitely be going back. The views are beautiful, the trails are nicely groomed, there are many trails to choose from, the rental equipment is great and the staff is very friendly. My only (slight) complaint is that I find it a little bit expensive (~$25 per day for a trail... More

We spent two nights here in one of the cabins. Ours, in fact, Cabin 208, was tiny but just perfect for Peggy and me. The main lodge has several rooms with shared baths; we preferred to pay a little more to have the privacy. Tamarack is a beautiful place, here since 1928, on the edge of a lovely lake literally...

Perfectly groomed, extremely nice and helpful staff that works there because they love cross country skiing! The lakes basin is particularly beautiful in the winter and I feel so lucky to be up there every time I go!

Tamarack Cross Country Ski Center is a nice break from the crowds on the downhill slopes. Good equipment rental, well groomed trails. I always try to work in at least one day of cross country while I am on a ski vacation - burns a lot of calories! Which you can put back on at the great Tamarack Lodge restaurant.

Tamarack is a beautiful place that we have enjoyed on several occasions but always in the summer or fall. We decided to try a winter trip for a change and the highlight was a day of Cross Country skiing. We booked the all-inclusive lesson, day pass and rental gear. The gear was in great shape and our instructor Amy was... More

we rented cross-country skis here and tried it out for the first time. We were complete beginners but they have trails that are perfect for learning and the scenery is spectacular. It cost about $55ish for each adult for skis, boots & poles and a nature trail pass during the high holiday season. It was too crowded, the snow in... More

Beautiful area. Don't be discouraged by the steep start, it gets easier. Bring a bottle of wine and drink it at lake George. Makes for a really fun trip back down!

Beautiful groomed trials for cross country skiing, snow shoeing, or just hiking. The roads are closed and all the lakes are frozen so it is quiet, serene, and great exercise no matter what you do. Tamarack lodge offers a nice warm cozy end of the day snack, warm drink or excellent meal at Lakefront Restaurant.
