Zen and the Art of Adirondack Forest Bathing in Lake Placid

Take a guided nature sensory walk at Heaven Hill Trails near Lake Placid.

Autumn Forest in the Adirondacks.

It’s been a noisy and hectic year. If you're looking for a way to decompress, purge and purify your spirit, the Adirondacks offer a remedy for those seeking peace through forest bathing.

Forest bathing, a practice originating in Japan (called shinrin-yoku), encourages people to slow down, unplug, and “bathe” in the ambiance of the woods. Fortunately, with its sprawling six million acres of forested beauty, the Adirondack Park is a top spot for this nature-based wellness trend.

Adirondack Riverwalking and Forest Bathing hosts a Nature Sensory Walk on November 17 to introduce people to the Adirondacks on a whole new level with the wellness practice of Forest Bathing on a guided walk on gentle terrain at Heaven Hill Trails.

During this guided walk, participants may find restoration and mindfulness come effortlessly by engaging with nature around them. Forest Bathing opens the wonders of the Adirondack forest to everyone and provides a relaxing, memorable experience.

Discover how effortlessly engaging your senses in nature leads to relaxation and mindfulness.
