The North Country ishome to the LakeChamplain Bikeways

Network, consisting of bikingtrails from as far north as thetown of Chazy through theAdirondack Mountains and tohistoric Ticonderoga.

In the North Country, theNorthern Adirondack Coast re-gion is made up of seven trailsthat range in difficulty from afamily ride to a ride for themore experienced bicyclist.

The trail takesriders through the hamlets ofMorrisonville, Saranac,Cadyville and West Plattsburghbefore returning back to the citycenter. You’ll pass monuments,see the sites where once-thriv-ing paper mills and saw millsonce stood and have a chance totake in the local music sceneonce back in the city. The nameof the trail delivers what itpromises.

The “Over the Hills and FarAway” trail stays true to itsname as it sees varying eleva-tion along its 45.2-mile stretch,from 400 ft. to 1,500 ft. The loopbegins at the Plattsburgh townoffice building on Banker Roadand travels through Mor-risonville, Schuyler Falls,Peasleeville, Saranac and Dan-nemora.

In the town of Chazy, “TheWilliam H. Miner Story” is a35.3-mile trail that starts at theChazy Central Rural School onMiner Farm Road, built byWilliam H. Miner, and adjacentto the Alice T.

The New Land Trust ofSaranac, a 501 (c)(3)nonprofit organiza-

tion, is a unique area in theAdirondack Mountains special-ly preserved for the nature-lover in you.

For more than 30 years, mem-bers of the New Land Trusthave been working to keep the287 acres of land preserved forthe enjoyment of all.

The 20 trails throughout theNLT can be used for bird watch-ing, or simply to enjoy a picnic.

If it’s bird watching you’re into, the land trust’s nature blog-ger on the Web site, www.new-landtrust.org, listed the numer-ous birds they saw and heardon one outing. From flycatch-ers, to warblers, to robins andhawks. In all, 18 different kindsof birds were found.

For the hiker in you, the Website offers a comprehensivemap of 25 different trailsthroughout the land trust.Along the trails are varioustypes of trees, including sugarmaples, black cherry, balsamfir, and American basswood.

However, not all nature-lovers can necessarily identifythe species of a tree. The NLTcan help you with that.

Last year, Hannah Racette, alocal Girl Scout, worked for hersilver award by putting trailmarkers with the tree speciesalong various trails. The trailsystem also includes variousland markers as well.

With all the land trust has tooffer, something that peoplemay find missing is the sounds

of cars and other modern tech-nology.

Set so far off the beaten path,truly the only noises to be heardthroughout the New LandTrust, are the ones mother na-ture has created.

The NLT is located at 236Plumadore Road and is accessi-ble from State Route 3 in thetown of Saranac by takingChazy Lake Road to Clark HillRoad, continuing several milesbefore reaching PlumadoreRoad on the right.

If you’re still looking forsomething fun to do, travel easton State Route 3 and head to theCadyville Disc Golf Course — anine-hole course at theCadyville Recreation Park onGoddeau Road.

“It really is an activity foreverybody, from active seniorsto kids,” said Town of Platts-burgh Recreation Departmentdirector Melanie Defayette. “Itmay be a little more difficult forkids at first, but once they learnhow to play, they’ll have funwith it.”

“I’m hooked on it,” sheadded. “When I go on vacationnow, I start Googling where thelocal courses are. It’s very ad-dictive.”

There is no cost to play. Theonly thing you’ll need to bringis your own set of discs, whichcan be purchased at local sport-ing goods stores.

For more information, con-tact the recreation departmentat 518-562-6860 between 8 a.m.and 4 p.m., Monday throughFriday.

The Cadyville Disc Golf Course — a nine-hole course at the Cadyville Recre-ation Park on Goddeau Road — has become quite popular since it openedearlier this year. It’s located only minutes away from the New Land Trust inSaranac, another popular destination for outdoors enthusiasts.

Matthew C. Nephew, Owner & Operator

More than 400years ago,French ex-

plorer Samuel de Cham-plain traveled the re-gion. In the town andvillage which bares hisname, it is evident theman is remembered andhonored.

A large monument ofChamplain, which waserected in 1907, is locat-ed at St. Mary’s Church,86 Church St. During the350th anniversary cele-bration of Champlain’stravels, the monumentwas rededicated, prov-ing the importance tothe community.

Another place to visitwhile in Champlain, tolearn more of the historyof the explorer, is the

Samuel de ChamplainHistory Center. Thebuilding, located at 202Elm St., was purchasedby Celine R. Paquette in2001. Paquette, who wasthe vice chair of theHudson-Fulton-Cham-plain Quadricentennialevents of 2009, openedthe center to fulfill along-standing dream ofhers.

The center housesmore than 300 books, in-cluding the largest col-lection of Franco-Ameri-can material anywherein the United States,which she purchasedfrom Dr. André Sénécal,retired director of Cana-dian Studies at the Uni-versity of Vermont. Thecenter also has maps,

pictures and many otherartifacts, all tied toChamplain.

Throughout the yearssince purchasing thebuilding, Paquette hasbeen diligently working

on restoring the build-ing, which was original-ly a bank, built in 1880.

One of the mostunique things about thebuilding, is there are nosquared corners. That’s

because the building fol-lows the contours of theGreat Chazy River,which flows throughoutthe Northern Tier.

One of the most recentinstallments of thebuilding is a stained-glass window with theface of Champlain —created by local stained-glass artist Jean-JacquesDuval.

The downstairs por-tion of the building,once completely re-stored, will housechanging exhibits —from the history of thetown and village ofChamplain.

If interested in visit-ing the center, Paquettecan be reached at 518-298-1609.

The Samuel de Champlain History Center, located at 202 ElmSt., houses numerous documents and artifacts surroundingSamuel de Champlain.

Historic Champlain named after French explorer

In addition to the great Samuel de Cham-plain, the town of Champlain’s history mayalso be seen in the many homes in the vil-lage that date back to the town’s first per-manent settlement just after the Revolu-tionary War.

If you take a drive down Oak Street, thefirst site you’ll see is the original home ofPliny Moore, founder of the town of Cham-plain. The home, which is today a funeralhome, was built by Moore, who was also aRevolutionary War veteran, the area’s firstpostmaster and the first judge of commonpleas for Clinton County.

Oak Street is also home to other magnif-icent old houses, including the DunningHouse, with its Italian architecture, and the

very first school house dating back to 1816.The burial site of Lt. Col. Benjamin

Forsyth and the historic Glenwood Ceme-tery, established in 1859, are also located onOak Street. The village’s first Episcopalchurch, which was built of wood in gothicstyle, is also on Oak Street and later becamea Presbyterian church.

On the corner of State Route 276 andHayford Road is a piece of history calledthe Dewey Tavern. It is known as one of themost historically significant buildings stillstanding in Clinton County. It served as away station for literally thousands ofBritish soldiers just before their march tothe Battle of Plattsburgh in September1814, and again shortly afterwards when

the wounded British stayed there duringtheir retreat.

An old stone house built in 1815 is locat-ed down State Route 276, just before theCanadian border. The house is privatelyowned by George Bedard, but has re-mained intact over the years.

Paquette Park, located in the heart of thevillage, is a nice place to enjoy a picniclunch before continuing your historicaljourney along the banks of the Great ChazyRiver to Perry’s Mills, which in its heyday,was quite a thriving community. It’s muchquieter now but does have some wonderfulhistoric structures, including homesteadsand old farms to share.

And, there’s even more history to see in Champlain!

The beauty of Lake Champlain is an attraction visitorscome from miles to see and for some, there is no morepicturesque view along it than in the village of Rouses

Point.The small village, located in the northeastern corner of New

York State, borders the lake with sweeping views of the moun-tains of Vermont, located just minutes away across the KoreanVeterans Memorial Bridge.

The village houses a pier and scenic pavilion where peoplemay be found sitting by the water on a daily basis. The struc-tures were part of a more than $1 million project which also in-cluded the development of a shoreline walkway and improve-ments to the neighboring village boat launch. The developmentshows a vested interest in inviting people to the community toenjoy all it has to offer.

The pier is just steps away from the village’s downtown,where a slice of Americana can be found in the restaurants andother local businesses that await you there. The village’s mainstreet, Lake Street, is usually abuzz with activities throughoutthe year, and fall is no different. Browse unique shops, samplespecialty foods and enjoy a charming café complete with Wi-Fiaccess.

Local marinas also offer seasonal events and activities — fromregattas to festivals.

In addition to its scenic views, the village is touted as being anatural gateway not only to Vermont, but to Canada as well. Montgomery Street Pier, Rouses Point

are all that is left of the strategically critical 19th cen-tury fort. The fort, which is privately owned and notopen to the public, can be viewed from the KoreanWar Veterans’ Memorial Bridge which connects thevillage to Vermont.

• Visit the D & H Roundhouse — Part of theDelaware and Hudson Railroad station, this round-house is the last of its kind on this railway system.

The Delaware and Hudson Station on Pratt Street,which was crucial to the development of RousesPoint as a railroad town, is in the process of beingrestored.

• Dodge Memorial Library is an historic site locat-ed on Lake Street and is a fine example of the Rous-es Point architecture. The library’s collection ofbooks and periodicals totals over 14,000 — with anextensive children’s section. Events and programssponsored by the library engage the community.

For more information about what to do while inRouses Point, visit the village office at 139 Lake St.,or call 518-297-5502.

In today’s world, it’s diffi-cult to find a communitythat still embraces small-

town charm. The community ofMooers and Mooers Forks isstill one of those places.

The towns of Mooers andMooers Forks are rural commu-nities bordering Canada, andthe towns of Champlain and El-lenburg.

If you enjoy fishing, you arein for a treat. There are plentyof access areas to get to theGreat Chazy River, wherethere’s plenty of brook andrainbow trout to be caught.

For the historian in you,Mooers has the Mooers Junc-tion railway depot, currentlyowned by local railway authorLarry Marnes. A longtime rail-road collector, Marnes hasgathered his artifacts andhoused them in the station,which was in service for nearly100 years, before closing in1961.

When Marnes purchased thebuilding in 2003, the roof was

leaking badly, windows weresmashed and brush had becomeovergrown. It took him fiveyears to restore it.

“I think my biggest fear isthis is one of the few remaininghistorical buildings in thistown and if somebody doesn’tdo anything with it, eventuallythis lot will be sold, somebodywill flatten it and build a househere,” he said.

Now the building is a sort ofmuseum, and if interested in

touring the facility, Marnes canbe contacted at 518-236-7160.

“Most of this is stuff that’sbeen collected, it representswhat was here and it’s in theplaces where it was,” Marnessaid of his memorabilia. “Any-body that is interested, if theywant to see it, [they] can comein and take a look at it. That’sthe idea.”

If you would prefer to justtake in the beauty of the region,a great scenic view to check out

is the Gulf — also called theCovey Hill Gorge and the Dev-il’s Den Punchbowl. Though abit of a hike, the geological mar-vel is a reminder of the glaciersthat receded some 12,000 yearsago. Rumor has it, the Gulf wasalso a remote place frequentedby rumrunners back in the daysof prohibition.

The trail leading to the Gulfcan be accessed from RockRoad, a 3.9-mile drive from theintersection of U.S. Route 11and Cannons Corners Road inMooers Forks. It is approxi-mately a 2.5-mile walk, whichcan get rough in some areas, soyou’ll want to wear some goodhiking shoes or boots.

The gorge is actually aboutone mile in length, with beaverponds at each end. According toCanadian Conservation author-ities, this area also has intrigu-ing topography and bird life,also harboring several speciesof rare salamanders — so besure to bring your binocularsand a camera!

The Mooers Junction railway depot is proof the town of Mooers still embod-ies the small-town charm.

The Great Chazy River flows through the hamlet of Mooers Forks on its way toLake Champlain. It’s a great place to stop for photos while in the North Country.
