Lake Lovers: Why Schroon Lake Is So Pristine

/

Its sparkle brings joy to thousands. Its quality is pure. Rainbows can't keep their rays off it. But it’s a full time job keeping Schroon Lake in mint condition. For that we give thanks to Schroon’s two lake associations:  the East Shore Schroon Lake Association (ESSLA) and the Schroon Lake Association. (SLA)

Both organizations are always looking for folks they can educate, as well as call on for a helping hand.

So here’s the latest: The first member meeting of the East Shore Schroon Lake Association (ESSLA) for 2016 will be held Friday, (June 24) at 7:30 p.m. at the Horicon Community Center in Brant Lake.

ESSLA’s special guest will be Dr. Michael Adler of Adirondack, NY presenting an Adventure Talk and slide show on “20 Years of Sailing and Kayaking in Newfoundland and Labrador and the geology of NE Canada and U.S.”  

There will be a short business meeting to include election of board members, before the presentation.

And the Schroon Lake Association Membership Meeting will be on Friday, July 8 at 7:30pm at the Schroon Lake Central School Auditorium. Guest speakers include Willy Janeway, from the Adirondack Council, David Wick, of the Lake George Park Commission, and Brendan Quirion, with the Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program.

Free Fishing In Schroon This Weekend

/

New York State hosts its annual “free fishing weekend" this weekend and adults are free to fish -- without a license -- all weekend long.

The State hopes that exposing more people to fishing will increase license sales. And what that potentially means for Schroon Lake is getting more people to experience our quaint hamlet and spend some quality time and dollars here.

Besides our own great lake, there are many other quick and easy-to-get-to spots, including many along the Hudson River, where you may find bass or panfish. Further south there’s the town of Queensbury parks at the end of Big Boom Road or in the Hudson Pointe development, boat launch on Spier Falls Road in Moreau and Hudson Crossing Park in Schuylerville.

If you want to try a lake, Lake George can be fished from any of the state access points around the lake, including Shelving Rock Day Use Area, Mossy Point and even Dog Beach in the village of Lake George. Brant Lake, Saratoga Lake and Moreau Lake are other lakes in the area with good fishing and public access.

 

Free fishing weekend runs Saturday and Sunday, June 25-26, 2016.
