Sandy beach and calm shallow water on a quiet lake near Long Lake village, with Owls Head Mountain as the family summit hike

Cost Paid
Duration ~24hrs
Difficulty Easy
Setting Outdoor

A friendly, medium-sized state campground on a quiet lake just west of Long Lake village, with a sandy beach, a boat launch and a short trail up Owls Head Mountain nearby for families ready for a real climb. The lake is calm and shallow near shore, so young kids can wade a long way out. Long Lake village is a couple of minutes away with a beach, a diner and a float plane dock that kids find fascinating. It is a good middle option: real Adirondack quiet without being an hour from a grocery store.

Dog Friendly
