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 large cascading waterfall with some intense rapids right before it. After the falls it opens up into a pool where you can lie down right into the waterfall. I was told there were some more places to swim downstream, but with lack of time in the day I only came to High […]
This is just a small beach that we found by accident, but would be a nice place to picnic. You can park on a short dirt road off of route 27- if you’re headed towards Malone it will be on the left hand side and there is a brown and white sign reading “Chasm Falls […]
On Allen Falls Road, park in small gravel area by the bridge, then cross the street and walk down the river, doing some bushwhacking along the way. Apparently there is a trail across the yard of the house across the street, but the guy was mowing his lawn when we were there, and that seemed […]
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 area is public access but the park sign has been removed. You can still see the remnants of the standard park sign- the brown painted wood with a T and a long arm-but the sign is gone. If you are coming from Junction Road the dirt road will be on your left, and if […]
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 area is part of the Saranac Lake Island Campground, but the path to this location is from the Ampersand Mountain Trailhead parking lot on Route 3. We have seen this listed as “Ampersand Beach” but it might not be the correct name for it. Follow the trail leading towards the water from the parking […]
