Island Chapel (Chapel Island)

Island Chapel is an interdenominational chapel offering a worshipful atmosphere throughout the summer, located on a very small island at the south end of Upper Saranac, easily accessible by boat from Fish Creek, or by driving to Indian Carry off Route 3 at Dock Road. Inspirational speakers conduct the worship service. Each Sunday members of the congregation are invited to sing in an impromptu choir. Worshipping at the island has been a unique experience since the mid-1800s. The Chapel, which is on its own island, blends well into the Adirondack landscape nestled amongst tall pines, overlooking majestic mountain peaks and surrounded by sparkling water.
