But you need to act TODAY to lock in the BEST savings. Click here for more information.

TBT#: The Mountains Between Us: A guide for Fun in the Adirondacks

The year was 1872 and a lawyer and topographical engineer by the name of Verplanck Colvin, had been recently appointed superintendent of the Adirondack Survey out of Albany.

With primitive survey equipment, some of his own design and a crew of assistants that sometimes numbered nearly 100, Colvin sought to quantify the vast wilderness in an effort to get New York state to recognize the need for management and preservation. His efforts lead the establishment of the Adirondack Park by the New York State Legislature in 1882.

Learn more about Colvin and the Park's fascinating history by checking out this story by JT Hall, of the Syracuse New Times.

A Huge Hat Tip To Locals Making For A Better Schroon

Thanks and congratulations are in order to John and Cheryl Fear, owners of the Adirondack Inn, for their contribution of three Dog Waste stations in and around the Town Park and Beach.  Your gesture is awesome and yet another example of what makes the people who care for Schroon, so special.

Tennis in Schroon: Never Better

By Susan Palisano, Executive Director of the Schroon Lake Area Chamber of Commerce.

TENNIS ALIVE AND WELL IN SCHROON LAKE!

After an absence of several years and following the renovation of the Town’s tennis courts, the annual Schroon Lake Tennis Tournament was returned this summer to a rousing welcome!

Sponsored by the Schroon Lake Chamber of Commerce, the tournament was held from July 26 through 28. Kathy Riggins successfully organized the well-attended event. Facing several adverse weather conditions with unpredictable downpours, Kathy and her volunteer grounds crew cleared water from the courts so that matches could continue. As a result of the weather-related rescheduling, some participants had to play two or three matches in one day – a tribute to their stamina and perseverance.

A total of 34 participants from ages 15 to 81 played at two levels in singles, doubles, and mixed doubles single elimination matches. Schroon Lake merchants generously donated prizes and gift certificates for all finalists. Winners for each division were:

• Men’s Singles: Ben Wisser

• Women’s Singles: Danielle Kazmer

• Men’s Doubles: Brandon Kayszak & Jim Hale

• Women’s Doubles 3.0: Jan Glading & Trish Sella

• Women’s Doubles 3.5: Emily & Anna Maisonville

• Mixed Doubles 3.0: Keith Wrigley & Gretchen Sunderland

• Mixed Doubles 3.5: Brandon Kayszak & Caroline Baldwin

Congratulations to all who participated and to the winners!
