Your Weekend in Schroon And Beyond Guide: It's Fab

October 03, 2014/ anthony batson

f you are heading to the Adirondacks for Leaf Peeping, there is plenty to do in greater Schroon this weekend.(Editor's Saturday note: weather permitting!!!)

Hiking, biking, strolling, fishing, shopping and dining. There's also music and of course -- those incredible colors of ochre, russet, copper, mustard, merlot, pumpkin, apricot and varied hues of yellow leaves of muted brilliance amongst the remaining green.

Rent a boat, canoe or kayak to see that kaleidoscope of colors first hand from the Schroon Lake Marina, or just pull up an Adirondack chair on our beach. So what are you waiting for?

The music is happening at the live recording party of a special Open Mic Night at Witherbee’s Carriage House. Read our story here.

Then there’s The Timberwolf’s Crazy Karaoke on Saturday night!

Pat Thorne proves once again what a paradise our area is for wildlife. From Pat:

"I could not believe my eyes when I saw these 2 eagles sitting in the same tree. There was also an osprey flying and calling to the eagles nearby. These guys hung out for 2 hours! I was delighted. I am so happy they are making a wonderful comeback from being endangered. Enjoy."
