Directions to Lake Sebago
The ACA camp at Lake Sebago in Harriman State Park can be reached by car, but please be aware that, except for Open House Events, there is a locked cable-chain that crosses the road which requires a key. It is a three mile hike from public transportation, ie. the nearest stop on the Shortline Bus line (800) 631-8405.
From the NY Thruway 287/87, heading North from NYC or the Tappan Zee Bridge get off at Exit 15-A, the Sloatsburg exit. Note: this exit is only a few years old and may not be found on some maps, also, unless you have 18 wheels, there are no tolls yet in that direction, no matter what your map says. Continue North on Rt 17, turn right onto Seven Lakes Drive and continue approx 3-3/4 miles until on your left you see a small sign marked ACA on a one lane a dirt road. Carefully continue up this road and bear to your right when you see the sign ADK on another locked road (that's the Adirondak Mountain Club, who also maintains a camp on the lake). You will then see a sign ACA, continue thru the road down the hill to the main parking lot. If you are looking for the ACA road and find yourself on a little bridge (actually a dam) or a traffic oval, you have gone too far. Don't worry about it, almost everyone misses it the very first time.
The ACA camp rules require you to sign in at the HillTop Lodge/Al Musial Pavilion, next to the camp's only pay phone. Don't forget to indicate that you are either a member or a guest of the YCC/YPRC. There is usually an ACA day use fee, please pay this fee!!!! It is waived on Open House days.
