    Stayed here for a weekend camping trip. The sites were really nice and there were soooo many sites…read more The sites were nice and private with woods inbetween them. Some of the water front sites didn't really have a view until you walked down a path to the water. The bathrooms were really nicely kept as well. They would get bug filled at night but those staff members were there bright and early to clean them out for the day. The beach and registration center were absolutely gorgeous. The beach was huge and clean. It had a grass area with benches for sun bathing or watching the sunset. So nice! BIG DOWNFALL, you cannot get to the beach from the camping areas. You need to drive to them and not everyone wants to do that to go play in the water. Especially if you have a RV with no other vehicle. There is nothing for the kids in the camping area, no playground or field to play in. There also are not any hiking trails. They are at the nature center, which is a drive away. I don't think we would be staying here again but that's for camping. We would definitely come back to use the beach!

    We had reservations for Memorial Day weekend. On site 192. Site 191 decided to cut down a tree…read morewith a chainsaw directly behind our camper. Park rangers did nothing to them but told us we may have to move our camper to prevent the tree from falling on it. Park police did nothing so far. The person on 191 called me a tree hugger. NYS law says no cutting down trees in state parks. Heading home one day in. What a disappointment. You can do better NYS. Spend all winter in state parks across the country and never have issues like this. I am a NYS resident but will not support NYS parks any longer.

    I was inspired by the show "Aerial America" on the Smithsonian channel to take a trip to upstate…read moreNY, this time to do some hiking and leaf peeping around the adironancks. I knew this was a vast protected wilderness area, but never expected it to be such a paradise of sorts. Driving from NYC took are out 5 1/2 hrs, via I87 North. Overall a smooth ride except the fogs that I encountered, was not really prepared for so much fogs. Also it did helped that all the way through, the highways were lined with colorful trees, which made the ride a pleasant one. After getting lost a bit and not finding the trailhead for Mt. Jo, which we originally wanted to hike, we decided on option #2 to drive up to whiteface mountain, which promised a dizzying elevation and beautiful views of the "high peaks". On our way to whiteface we passed through keene valley, which is right out of a painting, a sleepy little village dotted with woodsy like cabins & houses surrounded by mountain and streams. The curvy back roads took us through some other towns which included a town called the "North Pole", which is apparently a popular kids amusement attraction. The fall foliage was at its peak in this area, so it was truely a marvelous setting for a drive. We took the Veteran Memorial Highway in Wilmington to reach Whiteface Mountain, which had many lookout points to caught a glimpse of the "high peaks". Once we got to the top, and parked our car, we took the vintage elevator to reach the peak, then we were treated to the most amazing views of the "high peaks"! It was like being in heaven looking down. A breathtaking view of Mt. Marcy (the highest peak in NY state), and many lakes, in the area, including Lake Placid. After a few photo opts and lunch at the cafe, we decide to walked down the "natural staircase" to the parking lot, instead of taking the elevator back, which I highly recommend. Because it was only a Day Trip, it was time for us to start our drive back to NYC , we forgo plans for a gondola ride and a short hike up Mt. Jo. Reasons we definitely have to go back. We did however, visited "Ausable Chasm", which we kinda stumble upon serendipitously. We took a tour of the area, which was totally inspiring. Definitely a must when you're in the area. My trip to the Adirondacks was long overdue, it was the perfect setting for leaf peeping and hiking. Whiteface mountain offered amazing views of the "High Peaks". Lake placid is a beautiful village that I reckon, you'd want to stay in, when visiting the Adirondacks. It's rustic, and made for the adventurous at heart, if you're the outdoors kind, then this is perfect playground, any time of year.

    SOOO HUGE! Our whole…read moregoal in trekking out to Lake George these past two years was to ride through this park. Two years of riding, and we STILL haven't covered it all. Great expanses are purely wild, though there's sprinklings of towns and resorts along the routes. Great rides up into the ranges, and gorgeous places to stop and wonder at the beauty. Don't expect to find a place to eat in every town. Plan ahead for the day. Some spots, on RT9N used to have resorts, and stores, but they mostly have closed. There's some great town names like Sawtooth, and Wolf Jaw. I keep resisting the urge to buy a canoe, but how would I haul it home on the motorcycle?
