Adirondack Hub Region

Schroon Lake is picture-perfect for a day on the water. Surrounded by mountain views, the scenery is as stunning as the pristine water. Put your own boat in at the public launch or rent one from the local marina to spend a relaxing day soaking up the sun. Anchor the boat and go for a swim in the crystal clear waters, or kick it into high gear and enjoy waterskiing and tubing. While much of the waterfront is privately owned, a public beach offers an inviting stretch of sandy shoreline and a grassy picnic area. Though large, the lake is well shielded by surrounding hillsides, making for calm waters.

Paddlers of all kinds will enjoy exploring the lake, and shallow, sandy bays are excellent for beginner stand up paddle boarders. On a blue sky day in summer, when the trees are a vibrant green and the water a deep, refreshing blue, you might mistake Schroon Lake for a tropical paradise.

Fuel up for a big adventure, unwind after a fun-filled day, or treat yourself to a night on the town. Schroon Lake’s quaint but bustling downtown offers a wide variety of dining options to suit any occasion. From grab-and-go eateries to wood-fired pizzeria’s and brew-pubs, quality is a constant in Schroon Lake. Enjoy home-style cooking or a delicious baked good from the Adirondack General Store. Also be sure to check out the Newcomb Cafe, the newest restaurant in the Adirondack Hub located in Newcomb. Not only can you enjoy fine casual dining but you can also glamp right on site. Once your appetite has been sated, fill your glass at Paradox Brewery, a 10-barrel microbrewery devoted to brewing fine craft beer with local Adirondack water. Or, stop into Vine and Barley for samples from 10 local wineries and breweries.
