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 […]
The beach was closed this year because they couldn’t find a lifeguard, but the ranger agreed to show me around. The set up is kind of funny, because when the beach is open you park in a small lot, and then the ranger drives you down in a homemade cart with four bus seats in […]
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 […]
This is a huge tourist complex with camping, motel, concessions, a museum, and multiple adventure options. You can also get a duel ticket to visit High Falls Gorge, if you’d like to see both. All of the adventure trips look really fun, including TUBING in the chasm. They also have rafting, rappelling, and a candlelight […]
Google maps has this road labeled as Beach Road, but the sign for it says “Bowman Lane.” If you are coming from Wilmington, there is a sign for the beach on the left, but you take a right on onto Bowman Lane. This is a town park with a nice swimming area and a small […]
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 […]
This is a gorgeous swimming hole, with possibly two routes down to it. There is a small 8 ft waterfall right by parking area, but the true gem is a downstream. Hike either north or south side of river about 5 min, with trails on the end of each guardrail on the opposite side of […]
