After we said our farewell to the Airbnb in Pownal, ME, we set off early, around 8:45 a.m., knowing we had a long drive ahead. After spending two and a half weeks exploring Maine, our journey was taking us to New York State, specifically, Tupper Lake, a small community nestled in the Adirondack Mountains.
The route took us through the picturesque landscapes of New Hampshire and Vermont, and by around 2 p.m., we crossed into New York. A few hours later, we arrived at our Airbnb, where check-in was smooth and easy.
A Lakeside Stay in the Adirondacks
The Airbnb location was conveniently close to downtown yet right on the edge of the lake, offering the best of both worlds. After settling in and having dinner, we stretched our legs with a walk along the shores of Tupper Lake through Flanders Park, where the stillness of the evening and the calm lake made for the perfect welcome to Tupper Lake.

The next morning, we woke up with dark skies. The forecast looked grim, so we decided to just get our runs in. We’d read about the Junction Pass rail-to-trail, and after my husband had considered it safe, I set out for my run as well. The trail itself was perfect, but the weather was relentless.

By the time I returned home, I was soaked and chilled. However, a warm shower and dry clothes later, I felt rejuvenated; nothing ever feels better than that.
