This place is 1-2 miles away, and doesn't look like much, but they have fabulous dinner specials on weekends prepared by a retired 4 star chef. You may want to make reservations. I believe they are only open Thursday thru Monday, and there is a limited bar food menu on Mondays and Thursdays.

Conselho para os viajantes

Não perca

You may really enjoy the town park 1/4 mile down the road

It has excellent amenities including boat launch, picnic areas with grills, plenty of parking, nice flat land and paved walkways that are free from obstruction along with access to the lake. We bought our home nearby because of the great times we've enjoyed at the park.
Transporte

Watch your step while down at the lake.

This is a mountainous region with rocky/hilly terrain that is moderately difficult to navigate. Guests should stay on the main path when visiting the lake and using amenities. We have an access permit to the lake, but our ability to modify /improve the terrain is constrained by the regulatory board and Adirondack Park regulations. Please consider the Town Park facilities which are only a quarter mile away as an excellent alternative. The park has many amenities and the terrain there is easy to safely navigate. Our primary goal is your safety.
O que levar

Bring sturdy water shoes for all members of your family.

These are great for walking down to the lake and for any water activities. Avoid the kind that will let excess sand in your shoes. Grab your fishing gear, hiking boots, swim suits, sun screen, hats, sun glasses, kayaks, water toys, whatever floats your boat and … REST, RELAX AND HAVE A GREAT TIME :-)
O que levar

You may want to bring a sweatshirt or light jacket.

The evenings can get a little cool, beginning in August. Better to have one just in case you need it.
Costumes e cultura

Watch for traffic when crossing the street.

Locals will often wave when going by.
Costumes e cultura

Want to see wildlife?

Deer and turkey stop by for breakfast most mornings, but you may have to get up early to see them. They may stop by during the day or at dinner too.
Costumes e cultura

Check out the sunrise, sunsets and moonlight

Sunrise is stunning! Boaters can enjoy fabulous sunsets from the lake too. My favorite is when you catch the moonlight glimmering on the lake, especially during a full moon. These are a photographers paradise.
O que levar

Don't forget your beach towels, sunscreen and sunglasses

You'll want these for fun in the sun :-)
