Kayaking
Serene Lake with no motorboats or houses. Parking lot is 1/8 mile from the launch so you do have to carry your boat but well worth it! Take a nice dip after your paddle on the sandy beach. Port-a-potty only.

Plenty to look at as you paddle around the lake. Eagles, loons and houses galore. Can be crowded with motor boats on the weekends so I suggest the weekdays or weekend mornings.

Highly Recommend!
North Creek. Over the river and through the woods - Pedal your way along and over the Hudson River on these specially made Rail Bikes that are attached to the old railroad. Offers 2 person side by side or 4 person rail bikes. Flat and no hills so it is great for young and old. Kids can just ride along with adults if they don't want to pedal. 2 hour excursion. Allow extra time to stop in the small museum for some interesting history of the area!
