Why Schroon Lake, New York?
Schroon Lake is a classic Adirondack village — nine miles of clear water, sandy beaches, hiking trails, kayaks, campfires and the kind of small-town American charm you’ve only seen in films. You’re surrounded by 6 million acres of protected wilderness, with Lake George about 45 minutes away, Lake Placid within reach, and easy weekend trips to Montreal, Boston and New York City. Summer here means swimming after your shift; early fall means the world-famous Adirondack foliage exploding in red and gold.
