We rented the boat for a half a day and enjoyed drinks, snacks, sun, and fun. One of the best things is pulling off on to a dock and taking a short hike to another Lake, unfortunately I can't remember the name of the lake. There is a lean-to at the end of that hike.

We took a boat tour with Old Forge Lake Cruises as part of a package we booked for the Adirondack…read morerailroad. If you see a package for both, I highly recommend booking it. Once we got off the train, a bus took us right to the cruise location and we got our tickets. The cruise left right on time. The captain provided us with some really interesting facts about the area, and not doing much research beforehand on the cruise I was in awe of how beautiful the lakes were that the cruise went through. The mountains in the background everywhere were amazing. There were drinks and some food for sale on the ship, and the prices were pretty reasonable. The whole cruise was very relaxing and informative, if I was in the area again, I would do this cruise a second time. Once we were done, a bus arrived and took us back to the train - super easy.

Only gripe was the loading…read moreand check-out by some obviously inexperienced "kids" - we had to ask for the floating pad (comes with every boat) and we were given a pair of kids water skis that didn't fit any of the adults. Unfortunately we didn't notice until we were an hour out and would have taken an hour or more to exchange them. Maybe if we were more experienced we'd have seen that but they shouldn't be giving a boat full of adults a pair of kiddie water skis. Management was not particularly conciliatory either, although they comped our gas bill after some discussion. But no water skiing for us. Caveat Emptor to the inexperienced boater/skiers! Otherwise a great time was had by all!

Behind the Hanger, three tier storage barn, with neatly wrapped boats in storage. Across the main road on an open parcel, guessing 10+ acres, full of other boats similarly wrapped on trailers in storage. The crew was busy prepping as orders arrived for the summer season. We debated a rental if the kayaking began to fizzle - that never happened. They service, store, rent, and sell a mix of water craft.

The first time we rented paddle boards to go on Moose River (the ramp to get into the water is right in back of the store). I wouldn't recommended paddle boarding on Moose River though. The water isn't the cleanest, and if you fall in it would be a nightmare lol. $8 and hour to paddleboard on the river, $20 something if you rent a kayak. The second time we rented the paddle boards for the day and went to Nicks Lake (which is a 5 minute drive from Tickners). they drop your paddle boards/ kayaks off at Nicks beach, you just have to sign some quick paperwork and grab life jackets + paddles. It's a $10 admission to get into Nicks Lake but it's pretty much a private beach area with picnic tables, camping, a jungle gym, clean bathrooms, beach area and a life guard. The actual lake was gorgeous. We paddle boarded for 4 ish hours and made it around the entire lake! And the water is clean enough to swim in (it's $28 for the entire day to go on Nicks Lake). I can't wait to come back!
