Things To Do
Natural Stone Bridge & Caves
Walk the self-guided and above-ground nature trail to witness this spectacular display of ancient Adirondack geology. The rustic stone-step and gravel trail features the massive Stone Bridge, Trout Brook, the old Sawmill Site Waterfalls, Artists' Gorge, incredible potholes and of course several surface caves and grottos. Self-guided tours from 10AM-3:30PM. Hiking trails from 10AM-1PM, return by 5PM. P.S. They have a great ice cream stand right outside the entrance.
Pharaoh Lake Wilderness Area
Various trails for all difficulty levels + hike lengths. Highly recommend Spectacle Pond + Goose Pond trails if you're trying to keep the hike under 1.5 hours.
Take a Boat Ride on Beautiful Schroon Lake
The Lodge at Schroon Lake offers pontoon boat rentals, so get a group together and take one for a spin around the lake. Schroon Lake is nearly 8 miles long and is over 200 feet deep in spots. It also offers great fishing, if you're so inclined, for Lake Trout, Large and Smallmouth Bass, Perch, Northern Pike, and Landlocked Salmon. Stop by the front desk and let them know if you're interested in heading out.
9 Mile Coffee Co
Cute spot to grab + go or sit down! Coffee, specialty drinks, smoothies + much more! Make your own breakfast sandwiches as well as lunch options are available!
Paradox Brewery
One of our favorite spots in the area! Just a quick 5 miles from Schroon Lake, the Paradox Brewery has a variety of in-house brewed craft beers as well as food options (apps, pizzas + sandwiches).
Flanagan's Pub & Grill
Really good Adirondack/Irish pub if you're just looking for a quick burger and a beer. They're also known for their wings and pizza. A quick walk from The Lodge at Schroon Lake.
DeCesare's Pizzeria
Our favorite no frills, family-owned Italian spot, we love the pizza! For any gluten-free eaters, this is one of the best gluten-free pizzas (according to our resident celiac, Cait Myles).
Pitkin's Restaurant
Over the past 114 years Pitkin’s Restaurant has been serving the Schroon Lake community and tourists in the Adirondack region with American favorites. Best known for their breakfast specialties, especially the homemade corned beef hash, Pitkin's is opened for breakfast, lunch + dinner.
