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 information for the Plattsburgh beach on Cumberland Bay – Lake Champlain, purported to be one of the largest freshwater sand beaches in the USA:
Cumberland Bay State Park
Beach: June 20 – September 7 2015
Day Use 11am – 7pm
$7 per Car – $5 after 4pm
Plattsburgh City Beach
Day Use 9am – 9pm – weather permitting
M-F $6, Weekends $7 – US/CAN per car
Daily $4 After 4pm
Town/City Residents – Free
Open: June 13 – September 7 2015
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.
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.
Bonjour,
I want the documentation for location bed and breakfast and beach plage for Plattsburg at august 8th for 2 days.
Thank you
Nicole, I suppose you could contact the “official” tourism office for Clinton County:
The Adirondack Coast – Lake Champlain – New York
Hi! Thanks for the update. What is the address for the municipal beach so that I can input it into my GPS?

Hi,
We are from Montreal and we wonder if it is essential to bring our passports when we pass through customs?! Even if you go to Plattsburgh beach for a couple hours?!
Thanks for your help
Yes, all travelers now need passports:

@lilianna
Yes, there are picnic tables and grills at both the City Beach and State Park.
Hi, we’d like to know if the beach is opened for swimming. I read up about the water being contaminated due to a storm a few weeks ago…has that been resolved? Is the water safe to swim in now?

@lina
Yes, the beaches are currently open.
Hi, i was wondering if dogs are allowed on those beaches or one of them? Really want to bring the big boy along for a swim! Thanks
Yes, but probably need to be on a leash.

ving for Plattsburgh beach tomorrow I want to bring my little pooch, are they permitted?
are dogs allowed at the plattsburgh beach
Cumberland Bay State Park – Pets (on their website)
Must have proof of current rabies vaccination – certificate inoculation or dated collar tag. Household pets only, caged or on a leash, not more than 6 feet. Not permitted in picnic or bathing areas. For campers, if your site allows pets, there is a two-pet maximum.
I believe both beaches require pets to be on a leash.
Hi, is there any part of the Beach at Cumberland Bay where dogs are permitted?
If not.. Is there any water area in Plattsburg where they are allowed?
Hi, is motorhomes allowed somewhere in parking I have a 26 feet class C
