Described as “Upscale and Excellent” by Ski America Magazine, The Hungry Trout Restaurant is a local legend and has provided fine dining since the 1930’s. When dusk arrives each night, the waterfalls of the adjacent Ausable River are illuminated and, coupled with the nearby Whiteface mountain range, incomparable views are yours to enjoy by candlelight. Constructed in 1989, our R.F.McDougall’s Pub, an old-fashioned Victorian saloon, was nationally recognized recently as one of “ The Top 10 Fishing Bars in America by Outdoor Life Magazine - June 2006. “McD’s” offers the area’s finest burgers, steaks, pasta dishes, sandwiches and ice cold drafts in a setting reminiscent of the great Manhattan pubs."

Both of our dining options combine to provide our guests with a full spectrum of delicious choices you are sure to enjoy! Each of our recently upgraded guest rooms and kitchenette suites provides picture window views that frame the surrounding mountains and the peaceful sunrises and sunsets they present each day.

The Hungry Trout Fly Shop, a dealer for Sage and Winston rods, provides anglers with everything necessary to challenge our region’s diverse fisheries. Six of the area’s best guides are on staff to assist you. Anglers wishing to stay with us should know that The Hungry Trout Resort was named as one of the "Top 25 Fishing Resorts In North America!" by Field and Stream Magazine - December, 2006.

Activities:
The many special treasures of the Adirondacks are all minutes from your doorstep at the Hungry Trout Resort! Unlimited recreational experiences and a host of popular attractions abound in our area. You are encouraged to visit our town's website - whitefacenewyork.com - or nearby Lake Placid's website - lakeplacid.com - for much more information and access to the many links that will detail the wealth of activities, attractions, and experiences available to our guests.
Please remember, prices for accommodations in Lake Placid far exceed those in our community and many travelers prefer the more tranquil atmosphere of its little neighbor, Wilmington. We're just minutes away from downtown Lake Placid, but a great distance away from its hustle and bustle!

Bird Watching:
Just as Browns, Rainbows and Brook Trout fill our rivers and ponds, Grouse and Woodcock thrive in the Adirondacks! The Hungry Trout Resort leases 1,000 acres of regenerated forest land owned by International Paper just 15 minutes away and is reserved entirely for the use of our guests enjoying our hunting packages. Loaded with Aspen, Birch and conifers, and dotted with beaver dams throughout, our leased covert contains ideal habitat for large numbers of grouse and woodcock. Flush counts taken for the past 12 years suggest comparative numbers with western lodges charging five times the price of our packages!
Each of our six experienced guides have access to many more acres of private habitat you may visit as well. We encourage hunters to bring their own dog with them as all of our birds are wild and the experience you’ll share with your hunting companion will last forever.
Book early, as once you do hunt with us, like so many others you’ll find very few reasons to drive or fly the many hundreds of miles to other far more expensive hunting areas. As most of our guests stay with us year after year, we encourage you to book early!.

Weddings:
Nestled in the shadow of majestic Whiteface Mountain, The Hungry Trout Motor Inn offers upscale accommodations and first class dining in an Adirondack setting unequaled in its beauty and splendor. Each of our 22 spacious guest rooms and kitchenette suites provides picture window views that frame the surrounding mountains and the peaceful sunrises and sunsets they present us each day.
