Shop, shop, shop!

When you visit Tupper Lake, you’ll want to head home with more than just beautiful photos and a lifetime of memories. So while you are here: get shopping! 

Treasure hunting in Tupper Lake can turn up everything from unique souvenirs and jewelry to rustic Adirondack furniture and impressive artwork. And while you shop, don’t forget to stock your pantries with some authentic local food products and of course some sweet maple syrup (you know, the kind served at our local eateries!) for those mornings when you miss waking up in the Adirondacks.

Browse through some of our locally-owned stores, farmers' markets, gift shops, and art galleries. Then shop, shop, shop - 'til it's time to grab your walking shoes and get into our great outdoors!
