Summer is coming and preparation is underway!
Posted: 5/13/2020
Now that we have finally seen the last of the snow showers here in Schroon (hopefully!), we continue to work hard to be ready for visitors to the lake. With the NY Forward Phase I reopening to begin on Friday, May 15, we will be ready for boaters. This means that the boat wash stations are currently being set up for the season!...
Watch Out for Hitchhikers!
Posted: 4/28/2020
We are finally starting to have a hint of the summer weather we are all so looking forward to, and with that comes the desire to get out on the water. This is also a time to be thinking about aquatic invasive species. Boats are reappearing on our local waterways, and some are moving from lake to lake and pond to pond. Despite our ...

Mark's Message
The best word I can think of to describe the current environment is “unprecedented”. As someone who has been invested in the Schroon Lake community for most of my 70+ years, we have dealt with a number of issues, but nothing compares to the current COVID-19 pandemic.

Help Wanted
Posted: 3/16/2020
Last year the SLA initiated an ambitious sonar project to survey the lake bottom to identify areas that may support invasive species and is currently looking for help. The mapping process uses a Lowrance sonar plotter requiring a small boat and motor operating at < 5 mph with minimal wake. The plotter records a 30 ft wide path on a small d...
Happy New Year!
Posted: 1/17/2020
It has been said that “hindsight is 2020” and, as we look forward to the start of a new decade, I would encourage you to think back on the memories made on the lake we love. We all love the purity of our waters, the beauty of our mountains, beaches and streams, the sound of loons calling an...

Thanksgiving allows us to look forward to the future based on the past. This gives us an opportunity to thank those people who have played an important part in our lives. It is a uniquely North American holiday, started when persons, barely hanging on by their fingernails, came together to realize how truly lucky they were.
As winter ...
Goodbye to Summer 2019
Posted: 10/22/2019
Yesterday we put the Boat Decon Station in Severance to bed for the winter. With that, SLA’s most visible outdoor activities end until spring. But like Mother Nature many critical things are happening while the snow flies. The cold weather also gives us time to reflect on the past year’s accomplishments and plan and work toward ev...
