Montreal Section’s base in the Adirondacks
The Montreal Section’s Keene Farm property is located within the
Adirondack Forest Reserve near the town of Keene in northern New York
State, USA, 160 km from Montreal, approximately 60 km southwest of the
city of Plattsburgh. This 105 acre property of meadow and woodland
provides both camping facilities and a large cabin that accommodates up
to 32 people.
The two-story log cabin, situated on a small pine
knoll overlooking the Ausable Valley, is open year-round, with wood
stoves for heating and propane gas for cooking and lights. The cabin has
a large, fully equipped kitchen, an eating/sitting area and two large
sleeping rooms upstairs with foam mattresses.
The meadow is
suitable for camping with picnic tables and a central fire pit. Nearby
there is a large open-sided shelter for cooking, eating, or escaping
from inclement weather.
There are many nearby rock and ice
climbing areas and an extensive system of trails for hiking, biking,
canoeing, backpacking, mountaineering, snow shoeing, cross-country and
downhill skiing.
