Tennis:
Southern Adirondack Pines has a hard

perfect for tennis - the landscape keeps wind to a minimum and the
temperatures are much more comfortable than you'll find on courts in
the towns and cities even 15 miles away. Tennis is included with
weekly rentals and is available for a reasonable hourly fee for those
staying a shorter time.
Mountain Biking:
Since Pine Lake was formed in the 1800's to aid in transportation for
the logging industry, there are many old logging trails that are an
excellent resource for single track. Other opportunities come from the
vast snowmobile trail network, cross country ski trails, and hiking
trails. There are many possibilities for single track that can be
ridden to from Southern Adirondack Pines, and a considerable range of
difficulty within a 20 minute drive.
