Getting out in Elizabethtown

Nestled at the foothills of the Adirondack High Peaks and adjacent to the Lake Champlain valley, Elizabethtown has limitless opportunities for outdoor recreation. But there's no need to venture far.

There are amazing opportunities for skiing, hiking and mountain biking as well as fishing, hunting, and discovering swimming holes and waterfalls.
