A very good place to stop in on if you are going fishing in the Adirondacks. Has a comprehensive stock of flies, rods, reels and equipment. There is also a lot of spincast items as well.

Hidden gem in the heart of lake placid! We decided to take a break from hiking the high peaks with…read moreour 9 and 12yo kids and rented a boat. FYI, they only accept cash or checks. I was a bit apprehensive since we are boating novices, having only used a motorized boat once before. Turns out we had nothing to worry about. We were given a pristine, spacious pontoon (called the Bentley, if that tells you anything :), and the operator gave us crystal clear directions on how to use it. The person helping us also gave us a map of lake placid and pointed out good areas to stop for swimming and fishing. My kids had the time of their lives on the water. The operator was kind enough to suggest bringing one of their floating tubes and a fish net, all for no extra charge. I thought we would only be on the water for 2hrs at most, but we ended up being out for more than 3. The kids said they could have stayed out on the lake all day. We did not catch any fish but we all enjoyed the beautiful view in our clean, spacious pontoon. Given our inexperience, this excursion could have easily gone south, however Captain Marneys clearly cares about its patrons and goes the extra mile to make sure everything goes well. We will be back!

It's perfect for relaxing and immersing yourself in the outdoors. The area can be a little busy during summer weekends, but it doesn't typically attract a huge crowd, making the area quite peaceful. If you're around Indian Lake and wanted to squeeze in a small hike, it's the perfect place. It is a short drive from Lake Abanakee, with the way there, quite scenic.

My little one caught 2 fish, one 12 inch, and the other 15 inch trout. Fish you catch is sold at $1 per inch which includes includes fishing rods, bait and ice. There is also a mini playground ideal to keep little kids occupied. I am not a big fan of fresh water fish for consumption. In the dinner plate, I was expecting a somewhat neutral taste, but find that it has an "earthy" taste. The joy here is spending time with the kids. I can guarantee you will treasure the video of the expression on the face of your little one reeling in the catch of the day.

Check this spot out! Its fun, easy and a good way to spend some time outside this summer!

My…read morewife, two teenage sons, mini-poodle, and I came here in July 2024 on a hot summer day to cool off for an hour. Lots of pluses. First, it has a wide receiving pool area that is conducive to large groups and is more kid-friendly than other swimming holes (such as Warren Falls). Second, parking is generally available on the side of the road above the falls. You can descend along the second pathway down which is less steep than the first pathway. Third, dogs with a leash are allowed in the area. Would strongly recommend bringing water shoes (river shoes) if you don't like the pain of multiple rocks on your bare feet. Also, it tends to be a bit more quiet from 3pm-4pm, but got crowded when we departed at 5pm. Overall, this is a great place to experience a swimming hole in Vermont - especially if you are staying nearby in Burlington, VT.
