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?

Biking for a Good Cause
March 27th, 2009 · No Comments · Destination Marketing
Have you met Nathan Winters? Well I happened to run across him ….on Twitter. Kind of an interesting marketing case study. You see, I followed VermontTourism cuz they are across The Lake and we are Brothers-in-Arms.
This is my response to his biking route query:
“@tourpro Here is my basic route. If you can help that would be AWESOME! http://tinyurl.com/c75mzq“
First, you have to cross Lake Champlain.
Then, you have to Head West.
If you Cross Lake Champlain South of Burlington.
Essex NY to Lake Placid NY
Crown Point Bridge to Forestport NY

Sidestepping Snakes at Split Rock
June 3rd, 2008 · 6 Comments · Adirondack Life
1994. That’s when I first started wandering around in the woods around here. Lot’s of things you hear about, read about, and talk about. Adirondack Rattlesnakes – it just sounds cool. Right? Who really believes that rattlesnakes could exist in a place that is nearly frozen 6-months of the year? You will.
Visitor Information for the Plattsburgh Beac
June 20th, 2007 · No Comments · Adirondack Life
Greetings to our Canadian friends and everyone in the North Country. By popular demand, I present you with the information you have been searching for.
Here’s the beta for the Plattsburgh beach which is purported to be the largest freshwater sand beach in the USA:
Cumberland Bay State Park
Day Use 8am – 10pm
$6 per Car – $4 after 4pm
Canadian 15%
Open till Columbus Day
Campground Reservations
Plattsburgh Municipal Beach
Plattsburgh City Beach (City of Plattsburgh Recreation)
Day Use 11am – 7pm
$6 US/$7 CAN per car
Town/City Residents Free
Open June 27 through September 7, 2009
These are really part of the same beach, one side operated by NY State and the other by the City of Plattsburgh. If I had to pick, I’d go for Cumberland Bay, only so I can use my Empire Pass. These are minutes from both downtown Plattsburgh and the Upper Cornelia commercial district.
This is Old News, but still funny: Notice the exchange rate? Ha! The DEC wants 20% over at Ausable Point for Loonies. They were officially worth .94 cents yesterday. At par is not even good enough anymore.
Best place for lodging close to these beaches is in Plattsburgh. Almost everything is located around Exit 37 off the Northway. I know every place, in some cases too well. They’re mostly branded properties, I’d recommend using that as your first guide to quality. Nuff said. You could also camp.
If you do want to look for a Plattsburgh Hotel, I recommend starting with TripAdvisor.
