We found this spot by chance, on our way to visit Bear Slide. Â This is a steep little jumping spot on the Hudson with a rope swing and board ladder going up the tree. Tree root steps lead down to the rope swing. Â We couldn’t judge the quality of the water or the depth, or […]
This beach is at the end of Pierpont Road in the town of Lake Luzerne. Â This is a nice town beach with a medium swimming area and sand beach.
