Rogers Rock State Park

This is a nice state campground with a lot of camping sites.  They have a sandy beach on Lake George, with a nice view of the mountains.  They seem to have kayak rentals, and there is a boat launch. http://newyorkstateparks.reserveamerica.com/camping/rogers-rock-campground/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=NY&parkId=515 http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/24493.html

Black Point Public Beach

This is a town beach on Lake George, off of Tiroga Beach Road.  The park has a small sand beach and clear water.  Small grass area for picnics, beautiful views.  It was raining during our visit, but it is likely to have turquoise water on a sunny day, if it is like other areas of […]

Port Henry Champ Park

From Main street, take Dock Street and then a  right on Beach Road.  This park was sort of dingy but had a nice walkway to the lake.  This could be a nice beach if cleaned up a little, though we did see something on their website about a clean up effort following damage from Hurricane […]

Bulwagga Park

From Route 22, you’ll see a large sign on right side of road for Bulwagga Park, and you take Bulwagga Drive to the end where the park is.  You’ll go past a weird abandoned building, past a fenced municipal building, and stop at the fee building in front of all the RVs.  They didn’t charge […]

Baker Beach

We happened upon this area, and it was closed when we were there.  There is a lifeguard station and it is possible that it just wasn’t open for the season yet. We don’t have a lot of details for this location, and the link to their website is down.  It is listed on the town […]

Mine Kill Falls

To visit these falls, do not go into the Main Mine Kill State Park area, as it doesn’t seem to connect to the falls area.  Instead,  if coming from the east, you want to take the second Mine Kill State Park entrance, which is marked with a sign that says “Mine Kill Falls Overlook.”  There […]

Max Shaul Rest Area

Pull off into the rest area along Route 30, which we’ve marked on our map.  From here, walk to Route 30 and take a right to follow the guard rail.  Where the guard rail ends, you’ll see a green sign with numbers, and a “Foot Traffic Only” sign that is yellow.  Follow the path, and […]

Creamery Falls

Creamery Road is opposite a sign for the village of Blenheim. The falls are close to the road on Creamery Road, on the left before Bleinheim Pharmceuticals. You can cross the bridge on Route 30 to get to the top of the falls, where there will be a small steep path with a rope to […]

South Lake Beach

This entry is for one of two beaches within the same campground. This is a really lovely area, with pretty campsites and very clean facilities. The South Beach entrance is to the right after passing the entrance booth, and the North Beach is to the left.  South Beach is larger with a bigger swimming area, […]

This is a really lovely area, with pretty campsites and very clean facilities.  The South Beach entrance is to the right after passing the entrance booth, and the North Beach is to the left.  South Beach is larger with a bigger swimming area, […]
