LUZERNE

…only 19 miles Northwest of Downtown Saratoga Springs!

Listen to beautiful music at the Luzerne Music Center, go whitewater rafting, visit the Adirondack Adventure Center, grab a bite at Harris Grocery, the Rockwell Falls General Store, or the Long Horn Restaurant and Pub, Fishhead’s Roadhouse Kitchen, Rocco's II, Joe’s Mini Mart, Stewarts Shop, or the historic Hitching Post Tavern and Nettle Meadow Artisan Cheese Store & Gift Shop, to name (just a few!) eateries. Saratoga Corinth and Hudson Railway train rides and Revolution Rail can be found a short distance from Lake Luzerne. Lake Luzerne is also known as Dude Ranch Country, so check out the miles of horseback riding trails throughout the extensive Dude Ranch Trail System while riding with any of the local riding stables, including Mountain View Rocking B Ranch, (formally Bennett’s) or Ruggiero's Riding Stables and Cabins. Want to swim, fish or kayak? Head to the picturesque Wayside Beach on Lake Luzerne. You can also picnic in the Butler Pavilion Park area if you desire.

Lake Luzerne even has a "History Day" celebrating town and cowboy history, and a very popular fall costume contest (but only for Pugs - yes, the DOG!) at the Pavilion Park every year, with awards!!! (This town has EVERYTHING!!) You will also find several private campgrounds to choose from, along with the Luzerne State Campground, located along the Lake Luzerne / Route 9N corridor. Prefer more plush surroundings? You can stay at the elegant Lamplight Inn or choose from many boutique motels in town. And for an authentic western experience, head to the "oldest continuous running weekly rodeo in the USA," the Grahams’ Painted Pony Championship Rodeo to get your BBQ and rodeo thrills under the lights and do a little boot scootin’!

 And don't let me forget to share with you one more event this year, which is the new Lake Luzerne Food Trucks and Music Concert Series. Running for six weeks (every Wednesday) July 12 – August 16, with the everpopular Stony Creek Band, every week, except the last, which will be Spirit of Johnny Cash. (See schedule at townoflakeluzerne.com) Did I mention it’s FREE!!

Let me take a moment to thank the folks that keep Lake Luzerne rocking, including Hadley/ Luzerne super advocate Sue Wilder, Town Supervisor Gene Merlino, Historian Pam Morin, the Hadley-Lake Luzerne Historical Society, (celebrating their 50 year Anniversary in June!), the Lake Luzerne town garage crew for keeping the grounds and buildings beautiful, all the town officials, all the "Town Ambassadors," all the businesses, and all that have put forth the effort to keep Lake Luzerne amazing!
