This is the town park for Hannawa Falls, which has a medium sized beach and swim area. There is a small playground, and restrooms-though the restrooms are a little run down. The beach area is nice though, and well maintained. http://northcountryguide.com/Living/Potsdam-NY We didn’t realize that there is also a second town beach close by called […]
This park has a small beach, with a mid-sized swimming area. There is a nice playground that even has a small climbing wall. We didn’t find this park to be as scenic as some of the others, but it would be a great place for kids to enjoy. http://parks.ny.gov/parks/58/details.aspx
This is a town park with a mid-sized sand beach and swim area. There is a large play ground, and pretty views. The park is on Campsite Road which runs alongside a picturesque old mill near a dam. St. Regis Falls is nearby and there is a scenic walk through a campground here-the campground is […]
This area is massive for a town park, and has facilities on both sides of the river. The park is very clean and well maintained, and features a wooden fort playground, sports fields, peddle boats, and extensive picnic areas. The swimming area is large, and has a diving platform. Overall a very impressive local park, […]
This is a state park with a large amount of campsites, over 200. There is a medium beach and swimming area, which could get very crowded given the number of campsites. It is a pretty lake and has a very large grass lawn for picnics, and a playground. There weren’t many people on the […]
This location is listed as being on Wolf Pond Road, but we didn’t see the sign for it, so it might not be apparent when it changes from South Little Wolf Road. The easiest thing to do is to keep your eye out for the RV park. This is a town beach with a campground […]
This location is unusual in that two campgrounds (Fish Creek Pond and Rollins Pond) both share the same entrance. The beach is at the Fish Creek Pond site, and Rollins doesn’t have a formal swimming area. There is a nice playground and picnic area with large stone fireplaces, and a very small sand beach. It was closed […]
This is a little town beach on the Saranac River with an unusual square dock. This seems like a very good area for small children to enjoy. There seems to be a small swimming area outside the dock, possible for laps. http://www.townofplattsburghrecreation.com/Default.aspx?tabid=551041
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 […]
