Schroon Lake Town Beach

Explore Schroon Lake's beach

The Schroon Lake public beach is surrounded by picturesque mountain vistas and is nestled at the base of gently rolling hills.

Getting there

The beach is right in town! From the south end of Main Street, access the beach from Leland Ave or Dock Street. There are parking spaces on Dock Street and roadside parking on Leland Ave.

Winter fun

In winter, Schroon Lake becomes a peaceful place to enjoy wide-open ice and crisp mountain air. When conditions allow, visitors can lace up their skates and glide across the frozen lake, taking in the beautiful views that surround the shoreline. Skating is also available up in the pavilion, offering a sheltered spot to enjoy time on the ice even on colder days. There is no warming hut, so be sure to bundle up and bring everything you need to stay comfortable while you explore this quiet winter setting.

Summer swimming

Perfect for swimmers of all ages and abilities, the roped-in swim area is monitored by lifeguards, and the deeper section has a floating dock to lounge on or dive off. Bring a picnic, or purchase your lunch at one of the quaint restaurants in town and enjoy it on the grassy knoll overlooking the beach. If your timing is right, you may even coordinate your food shopping with the local Farmers’ Market for fresh and locally-grown yumminess. And it's so close to town that those in your party that enjoy shopping for local goods and artwork can take a quick stroll for souvenirs.

Kids can enjoy the town park's playground equipment - which is so close that they will probably go back and forth between the water and the playground. You can also relax on a park bench or in the shade of a tree if that's more your style.
