The Paul Smith's College Visitor Interpretive Center (VIC) was established in 1989 to educate visitors about Adirondack ecosystems. Situated in Paul Smiths, NY, the VIC showcases the unique Heron Marsh, surrounded by various ecosystems, providing easy access to the beauty of the Adirondacks without extensive hiking.

Initially a State-funded facility, the VIC transitioned to Paul Smith’s College in 2010. Offering diverse public programming, environmental education for schools, and free access to trails in summer, it has expanded its offerings to include Nordic skiing, arts programs, and research initiatives, becoming a hub for lifelong learning.

With over 30 miles of trails for hiking, snowshoeing, and skiing, the VIC also hosts the Paul Smith’s College Nordic Team at its Biathlon Range. Renowned for its architecture, the VIC serves as a gateway to the Adirondacks, providing exceptional learning experiences for students and visitors alike.

I was introduced to this beautiful nature center through a friend who summers in the Adirondacks. This center has so much to offer from weekly 5k trail runs to patio yoga weekly. Open year round....
