Hadley, Lake Luzerne

Parabolic Suspension Bridge in Hadley, or the Bow Bridge, re-opened in 2006

Mill Park, Lake Luzerne

These are the two towns that are on the confluence of the Sacandaga and the Hudson Rivers, full of dramatic falls and rapids. This makes it a spot for whitewater people, but be careful! Lake Luzerne (lake) is right off of NY 9N, east of the road and hamlet. The park on the stream connecting the lake to the Hudson is called Mill Park and it is a beautiful landscaped stone affair. The whole hamlet is very pretty and shaded, well heeled but not ostentatious like Saratoga. Lake Luzerne is in Warren County, east of the Hudson and Hadley is a town in Saratoga County west of the Hudson River. Cross the bridge and now you are in Hadley, which is on both sides of Lake Luzerne.

In the town of Lake Luzerne, off of 9N leading towards Lake George, you find the quaint hamlets and lakes of Lake Vanare and Fourth Lake. These have a lot of classic Adirondack tourist type places including several dude horse ranches, including the famous Double H Ranch, for handicapped children, that was supported by the late actor, Paul Newman.
