Some may find the color at this time of year depressing. I like it.

Lake Champlain Beaches
April 29th, 2009 · No Comments · Adirondack Life
The last few days of unseasonably warm weather has started what I would call “Beach Fever”. My personal favorite is Point au Roche, followed by Ausable Point.
Here are the public beaches on the New York side of Lake Champlain.
There are a handful of other small beaches, but they are either “secret” or limited to local residents. So, does anyone want to join me for some fun at the beach?

Adirondack Legend Fran Betters’ Plea for Help
I AM ASKING FOR HELP It is simply time to be very straight forward. I am in difficulty. Too many things happened at the same time. Number One: I was FORCED to move my business and decided since I HAD to, I would do it the correct way which took everything I had. Number 2: I came down with congestive heart failure which is now in its end stages and Number 3, the economy decided to tank all at the same time. How about that for a bit of luck? I cannot QUIT until I find a buyer for my business of forty seven years. I have to try and survive somehow. So I am asking for some help. If you have been considering buying one of my rods, please do so now. It could possibly be one of the last ones made. I know my days are numbered. Or one of the framed collectibles with a dozen of the flies I created, let me make one for you now. I could definitely use the business. Some of you say I am a legend but I have always considered myself just one of you all. I never sought the limelight nor took advantage of many opportunities I had over my forty seven years of business. Money never really motivated me. Big money at least. Perhaps I made a mistake. The place I find myself in right now seems to indicate that. So what I would like to ask of you all is this. I know my days are very limited and I MUST find a buyer so would everyone please network and if you know of anyone who would be interested in being my successor, please send them my way. I want to meet them before I pass on. The price is very low and the deal is absolutely turnkey. It is listed with a wonderful agent in Lake Placid, Margie Philo who is Adirondack Premiere Properties. Here is a link to see the information. http://www.adkpp.com/?page_id=112 Thank you everyone in advance for any help you can give. Fran

DEC ANNOUNCES TERMINATION OF ALL ELECTRIC HOOKUPS AT AUSABLE POINT CAMPGROUND
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) announced today that Ausable Point Campground will discontinue electrical services for the 2006 season. According to DEC, the current service is outdated and no longer complies with required safety standards. This is one of three state operated campgrounds on the New York shore of Lake Champlain. How this will impact the camping experience remains to be seen.
