A quiet, swimmable Adirondack lake with a sandy beach — the kind of morning guests come back for.
Minerva Lake is the local secret: calm water for kayaking and paddleboarding, a small beach for the kids, and sunrises worth setting an alarm for. It's the gentle counterpoint to a big day on the mountain or the river.
Bring a thermos of Homestead coffee down to the shore, or pack a picnic for the afternoon. It's the easy, unplugged part of the trip everyone remembers.
Minerva Lake is free for Alpine Homestead™ guests — swimming, beach time, kayaking, paddleboarding, picnics, and morning coffee by the water. Just ask us about lake access.
