Ice Cream

It’s always a good time for ice cream in the ADK.

Name your flavor. Nearly every town, village and hamlet in the ADK has a great ice cream shop or stand. So many options, so little time.

Chocolate vanilla twist, hand-packed pints, artisanal gelato in waffle cones and ice cream sandwiches, no matter how you like it, you’re sure to find something you’ll love.

Many of our favorite ice cream places are open only in the summer, so be sure to check websites and Facebook pages for current hours.
