This location is beside the Crete Memorial Auditorium and shares a beach with Cumberland Bay State Park, which has camping. This is a HUGE town beach, and one of the best that we visited. It is one of the largest fresh water beaches in North America, and has multiple very long swimming areas. It is […]
To access the beach area, go past the main park entrance and over a small bridge, and the day use area will be on the left. This park is a little worn down, but the area is lovely and peaceful. It was totally empty during our visit, but we aren’t sure if this is usually […]
This park is part of the same shore as Plattsburg Town Beach, but the state park has more shady picnic areas and grass, and it is quieter. It has a huge sandy beach that is connected to the town beach with no barriers. We like supporting state parks so that they stay funded, and it […]
The waterfall is behind the campsite, and it is a very steep but short walk down a hill, that levels out for a couple of yards and then ends in the gorge. You can actually sort of see the water from the head of the “trail” which is really just a root wash out. There […]
Park in the Whiteface Mountain Ski Resort, and walk up the road in between the main lodge and the education center. Once you pass the educational center you’ll see a sign for Stag Brook trail. You’ll come across the largest fall pretty quickly, which is probably about 50 ft., with no pool. There is a […]
This is one of our favorite campgrounds. They have a massive beach, and absolutely beautiful views of Lake Champlain. There is a large roped swimming area on one side of the beach, which has bright blue water. Since the lake is so large, it feels like you’re on the ocean. There is also a second […]
Park in the sandy parking area off of Ausable Drive, and follow the trail straight down to a clearing. There are a number of little trails of varying degrees of steepness, but you can hear the river from the parking area so pick whatever way seems best for you. Going towards the left will bring […]
Off of Route 9N, you’ll see a paved loop pull off, which is the parking area. From here, just walk down the small embankment towards the water. The water here is shallow and warm, and is only about 4 ft at the deepest. The water is a clear jade, with a very rocky shore that […]
There is a parking lot with two large stone monuments, and trails leading to the river. If you follow along the guard rail, there is a small 4 ft waterfall leading into deeper gouged out area, that is very pretty. You can easily see the small fall from the road on 87, and we don’t […]
This road doesn’t seem to appear on Google maps, but this location is actually on Brick Store Lane, near where it intersects Jay Fountain Road. You can park at the Covered Bridge Park, and the bridge goes over the swimming area. The bridge has parking on both sides, but you can’t drive over it. This […]
