The North Country is home to theLake Champlain Bikeways Net-work, consisting of biking trails

from as far north as the town of Chazythrough the Adirondack Mountains and tohistoric Ticonderoga.

In the North Country, the NorthernAdirondack Coast region is made up of sev-en trails that range in difficulty from a fam-ily ride to a ride for the more experiencedbicyclist.

“Monuments, Mills and Music” is a 35.6-mile trail that starts in the heart of the cityof Plattsburgh on Durkee Street and headswest. The trail takes riders through thehamlets of Morrisonville, Saranac,Cadyville and West Plattsburgh before re-turning back to the city center. You’ll passmonuments, see the sites where once-thriv-ing paper mills and saw mills once stoodand have a chance to take in the local mu-sic scene once back in the city. The name ofthe trail delivers what it promises.

The “Over the Hills and Far Away” trailstays true to its name as it sees varying el-evation along its 45.2-mile stretch, from 400ft. to 1,500 ft. The loop begins at the Platts-burgh town office building on Banker Road

and travels through Morrisonville,Schuyler Falls, Peasleeville, Saranac andDannemora. There are also strenuous partsto this ride though there are several placesto stop along the way to take in the historyand beauty of Clinton County.

“The Climber” is a 38-mile trail that be-gins at Saranac Elementary School on Pick-etts Corners Road in the town of Saranac.The trail continues through the hamlets ofClayburg, Standish and Lyon Mountain andby scenic Chazy Lake in the town of Dan-nemora on its way back to Saranac. Thisroute involves more strenuous climbingaround Lyon Mountain, which has an ele-vation of 3,820 ft.

“Acres of Apples” is a 24.4-mile trail thatshows the true beauty of the North Coun-try’s apple orchards. This trail begins at theferry dock in Port Kent and travels throughthe town of Peru, where hundreds of appletrees can be seen along the way. You alsowon’t be able to miss the breathtaking viewof Ausable Chasm on your way back.

In the town of Chazy, “The William H.Miner Story” is a 35.3-mile trail that startsat the Chazy Central Rural School on Min-er Farm Road, built by William H. Miner,

and adjacent to the Alice T. Miner Museum.The town owes much of its history to theMiner family, who were well-known phi-lanthropists who settled in the town duringthe early 1900s. The Miner Story trail con-tinues through the cornfields, woodlandsand pastures in Chazy and winds throughthe hamlet of Sciota, town of Altona, andtown of Mooers before circling back.

“The Flatlander” is a 21.1-mile ride thatoffers a change of pace — or, at least eleva-tion — through the towns of Beekmantownand Chazy. The trail begins at the Point auRoche State Boat Launch and travels acrossthe Interstate via Spellman Road andthrough the communities of West Chazyand Ingraham. On the way back to the boatlaunch, there’s even an opportunity to stopby the park’s nature center.

Those seeking a much shorter ride willenjoy the “Point Au Roche Family Ride,” a6.1-mile trail that begins at Point Au RocheState Park and travels along Lake Cham-plain.

There’s so muchto do in Peru

PERU — If you’re looking for a scenic place to visit, you cannotdeny the beauty of the town of Peru. With its vast fields, and viewsof Vermont’s Green Mountains, this town is worth stopping for.And, of course, there are numerous apple or-chards which add the incredible perspectiveof this countryside.

When heading to Peru, a must-stop place toadd to the itinerary is AuSable Point, locatedat 3346 Lake Shore Road. Although this loca-tion is a campground, there is plenty more todo than sit by a bonfire.

For those interested in wind surfing there isa designated area near campsite number 4 atthe campgrounds, known as the “Stone Jetty.”Wind surfers may park in the day-use area andload and unload at the campsite.

For the fisherman in you, stop by AuSablePoint on almost any day, and you’re certain tofind a fellow fisherman hoping to make alucky catch. Some fish you may find in this area include northernpike, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, lake trout, brown trout,salmon, bullhead perch, walleyes, carp, smelt, eel, crappie, andbluegill.

There is also a picnic area with a rentable pavilion and a beacharea for swimming.

Designated as a Department of Environmental Conservationcampground, AuSable Point is also one of the go-to places for theNorthern New York Audubon Society to view the more than 200birds that have been recorded in the Champlain Valley

"People are drawn to birds because they can be colorful andcharismatic, which is why so many people have birdfeeders out-side their home," explained Melanie McCormack, a NNYAS boardmember.

And while you’re peering out at the birds, you may also witnessa part of history.

“The majority of the campground was constructed in 1965 andopened to the public in 1966,” states the DEC’sWeb site. “A view of Valcour Island is avail-able across the lake to the north. On a clearday the silhouette of Garden Island strikes thepose of a battleship. Known locally as ‘Battle-ship Island,’ it is believed that the first majorsea battle of the American Revolution wasfought at this location.”

This interesting tidbit is just a small pieceof the history that encompasses Peru.

Peru came to be in 1792, when parts ofPlattsburgh and Willsboro came together tothe form the town. The name came from ear-ly settlers who found the mountain ranges toresemble those of Peru, South America.

The town expanded when several sawmillsdeveloped along the Little Au Sable River. Eventually, the landswere cleared and fertile soil allowed for numerous dairy farms torise as well as those gorgeous apple orchards.

Many years later, the downtown area suffered a devastating firein 1921, but the A. Mason and Sons building still remains. It was

a lumber company that at one time em-ployed about 100 people and was knownas the heart and soul of Peru.

Perhaps the most interesting of Peru’shistory is the Quaker settlement, whichdates back to 1788, when William Keese,a land surveyor from Dutchess County,was contracted by Ziphaniah Platt tosurvey some 12,000 acres.

That very land became known as “TheGreat Location,” and before long, sever-al Quaker settlers had come there fromDutchess County, as well as Ferrisburgh,Vt., and Berkshire County, Mass. Theyheld worship meetings called the Societyof Friends.

Still to this day visitors can see the re-mains of The Quaker Union Cemetery,located on Old Rogers Road in Peru.

Within the town of Peru, there’s thehamlet of Valcour on the shore of LakeChamplain — where the history contin-ues with Valcour Island. This island isthe site of a battle fought on Oct. 11, 1776. Benedict Arnold head-ed an American naval force and engaged in a battle against theBritish, which was also the first naval battle of the RevolutionaryWar, known as the Battle of Lake Champlain.

This island also has the Bluff Point Lighthouse which was placed

on the island in the spring of 1874. Its purpose was to guide shipsthrough the channel between the island and the shores of NewYork. This lighthouse is the only one on Lake Champlain to be list-ed on the National Register of Historic Places.

With the lighthouse being on an island, many people choose toview it by canoeing or kayaking their way over. With the beauti-ful backdrop of Vermont, it’s worth the trip across the pond.

The lighthouse is open to the public during the summer and be-tween July 4 and Sept. 6, the Clinton County Historical Associa-tion offers tours every Sunday from 1-3 p.m. However, you mustfind your own mode of transportation, which isn’t difficult withboat rental shops not far from the Peru Boat Launch on State Route9.

The Peru and Keeseville area is also rich in history when it comesto the Underground Railroad, an escape route utilized by slaves inthe 1800s trying to seek refuge in free states. Many local, privateUnderground Railroad sites still exist today within the foothills ofthe Adirondacks.

One such site is the Haff-Smith-Stafford farm on Union Road inPeru - in fact it is one of the more famous local sites still in exis-tence.

Literally hundreds of slaves made their way through what wascalled a “dangerous trek” practically every night as they fledthrough the Champlain Valley, through what was the final stretchof the Underground Railroad before they reached the sanctuary ofCanada.

You’ll also want to visit the old Baptist Church in neighboringKeeseville, which once housed an Anti-Slavery Society meetingand welcomed two of the most prominent abolitionists-IohnBrown and Gerrit Smith.

There is an old burial ground located behind the old church and,according to legend, several fugitive slaves were buried there.

With its vast history and gorgeous scenic views, a trip to Peruis well worth the visit.

For more historyPeru is rich with history and to learn more, visit the town his-

torian’s office Wednesdays from 9 a.m.- noon, or you can call his-torian Ron Allen at 1-5148-643-2745, ext. 113 or 1-518-561-0038 foran appointment.

Bluff Point Lighthouse on Valcour Island looks as if it belongs in a paint-ing and is easily accessible by boat with tours regularly offered by theClinton County Historical Association.

A look at one of the many apple orchards that may be seen throughout the town of Peru. Apple-pro-ducing is what the town is known for in most circles, with apple orchards being one of the largest at-tractions in the summer months.


Surrounding the Saranac River Morrisonville, Cadyville and Saranac are

known for being the towns that surroundthe Saranac River. Depending on whereyou are in these towns, the views are al-ways different. If heading down the longback stretch of Hardscrabble Road inSaranac, you’ll see panoramic views of themountains and the numerous farm lands inthe area. However, once you get to the mainroads, you know you’re back in the valleyas the mountains stretch above you.

With these fantastic views all around, it’sobvious this town is meant for outdoorrecreation.

The Saranac River has served as the lifeblood for the area for more than 200 years,first for means of transportation and nowfor electric power and recreational oppor-tunities. The 60-mile stretch of river, whichbegins at Saranac Lake and empties intoLake Champlain, has areas calm enough togo swimming and other areas slightlyrougher if you’re interested in small,whitewater kayaking or other types ofboating.

The body of water also offers great fish-ing opportunities. You can choose to pullover on Bowen Road, just off State Route 3,to cast your line or canoe down the Saranacfor other fishing areas.

Key species of fish in the Saranac Riverinclude northern pike, small and largemouth bass, walleye, brown trout, rainbowtrout, landlocked salmon, yellow perch andpanfish. If any of these are of interest toyou, make sure to drop by in Saranac andtake your chance!

The Cadyville Beach is also a great des-tination for one of the most picturesque ca-noe trips you’ll find. The stretch actuallystarts six miles upstream from the BowenRoad access of the Saranac River, right offState Route 3. If possible, you may want totake two vehicles so you don’t have to pad-dle back against the current, which can bea bit of a challenge.

The largest of these courses is at the LakePlacid Resort. With 45 holes in a Scottish-style layout. The Links Course, a par-71track known for its native fescue, cav-ernous bunkers and undulating greens israted four stars by Golf Digest. It can play

for more than 6,700 yards from the backtees, but accomodates all levels of golfersfrom the whites, reds and golds.

The Mountain Course, located acrossState Route 86 from the Links, is an antiquelayout that received a 1913 facelift underthe direction of Alster MacKenzie, whowent on to design Augusta National. At6,000 yards, it challenges golfers withrolling terrain, a couple blind tee shots, andsmall greens.

The Lake Placid resort also has The Exec-utive or the Pristine Nine, a short nine-holer that’s the perfect place for any golferto hone their short game.

CHAZY — The town of Chazy offersbeautiful landscapes perfect for a quietafternoon drive through the country.

One of the most notable attractions inChazy is the colonial manor on StateRoute 9 bought by the late philanthropistWilliam H. Miner for his wife, Alice. Thebuilding today occupies the Alice T. Min-er Museum, which was recently added tothe National Register of Historic Places.The museum offers the public a glimpseat the history of the Miner family, whoare credited for establishing, among oth-er buildings, Chazy Central Rural Schooland the former Physicians Hospital inPlattsburgh, which later became part ofCVPH Medical Center.

Not far from the museum, on MinerFarm Road, is the William H. Miner Agri-cultural Research Institute. The institutewas formed at the site of the originalMiner family homestead, Heart’s Delight Farm. In its heyday, thefarm employed 800 people and had its own dairy, box factory, icehouse, natatorium, greenhouses and grist mill. A 20-bedroomguesthouse and entertainment center named Harmony Hall includ-ed an auditorium complete with a stage that could accommodate300 people.

An exhibit at the institute portrays the development of Heart’sDelight Farm and chronicles Miner ’s youth and career in the rail-

road industry. The exhibitshows innovations, such ashydroelectric power pro-duction for farm use andfields brought under culti-vation by extensive use ofdrain tiles and illustrates theextensive philanthropy ofthe Miners.

The farm’s main source ofwater which bears Miner ’swife’s name, Lake Alice, waspart of a 1,400-acre propertysold to the state to form theLake Alice Wildlife Manage-ment Area, which openedthe property to the public foroutdoor recreation.

Today, the town of Chazyalso offers other quaint set-tings for family-oriented ac-

tivities, such as a recreation park on North Farm Road. The park hasfour baseball fields, a soccer field, small playground, and two cov-ered pavilions that are perfect for hosting a family outing.

The Great Chazy River also runs through the town, from the townof Dannemora to Lake Champlain, providing opportunities forsome excellent boating and fishing.

Chazy is a 20-minute drive north from Plattsburgh, and is locat-ed an hour south of Montreal and hour west of Burlington, Vt.

Champlain: An area rich with historyCHAMPLAIN — If there is a historian in you, you may be inter-

ested in the events happening throughout the region, includingChamplain.

Four hundred years ago, French explorer Samuel de Champlain,for who the town and village are named, traveled the area, creat-ing a journal along the way of what he found in “New Spain.”

After exploring the area for three nearly three years, he returnedto France an submitted his journal to King Henri IV, who in turnrewarded him by making him a noble — the Sieur de Champlain.

In 1909, in the southern areas of New York, a Tercentenary wascelebrated, in honor of Henry Hudson’s discovery of the HudsonRiver — known as the Hudson-Fulton Celebration — which alsohappened in 1909. During this time, numerous events flooded thearea to remember and honor their history.

However, this year — in hon-or of the 400th anniversary —Champlain and the rest of theNorthern Tier of New Yorkwanted in on the celebration,changing the name to the Hud-son-Fulton-Champlain Quadri-centennial.

People throughout NewYork, Canada and Vermont —territories surrounding LakeChamplain — are going all-outwith ceremonies, events andparades.

Monuments dedicated to Champlain stand in communities inNew York and Quebec, including the first monument in his honorerected in the United States in 1907, which is still located on thegrounds of St. Mary’s Church in the village of Champlain.

This August there will be a special mass honoring Samuel deChamplain’s religious commitment, followed by a ceremony re-dedicating the monument.

However, the town and village of Champlain also has its ownunique history. Many homes in the village date back to the town’sfirst permanent settlement just after the Revolutionary War.

If you take a drive down Oak Street, the first site you’ll see isthe original home of Pliny Moore, founder of the town of Cham-plain. The home, which is today a funeral home, was built byMoore, who was also a Revolutionary War veteran, the area’s firstpostmaster and the first judge of common pleas for Clinton Coun-ty.

Oak Street is also home to other magnificent old houses, includ-ing the Dunning House, with its Italian architecture, and the veryfirst school house dating back to 1816.

The burial site of Lt. Col. Benjamin Forsyth and the historicGlenwood Cemetery, established in 1859, are also located on OakStreet. The village’s first Episcopal church, which was built ofwood in gothic style, is also on Oak Street and later became a Pres-byterian church.

On the corner of State Route 276 and Hayford Road is a piece ofhistory called the Dewey Tavern. It is known as one of the mosthistorically significant buildings still standing in Clinton County.It served as a way station for literally thousands of British soldiersjust before their march to the Battle of Plattsburgh in September1814, and again shortly afterwards when the wounded Britishstayed there during their retreat.

An old stone house built in 1815 is located down State Route 276,just before the Canadian border. The house is privately owned byGeorge Bedard, but has remained intact over the years.

Paquette Park, located in the heart of the village, is a nice place

to enjoy a picnic lunch before continuing your historical journeyalong the banks of the Great Chazy River to Perry’s Mills, whichin its heyday, was quite a thriving community. It’s much quieternow but does have some wonderful historic structures, includinghomesteads and old farms to share.

Another area to visit while in Champlain is Point au Fer — acommunity within the town of Champlain. There you’ll comeacross a special plaque which honors the unknown British andAmerican soldiers whose lives were lost during the American Rev-olution.

The plaque dates back to 1929 when local farmer John Arnoldscales teamed up with the Saranac Chapter of the Daughters of theAmerican Revolution to make sure the soldiers were given prop-er recognition.

However, at some point the bronze tablet which rested upon abolder was dislodged and brought to the town of Champlain of-fices where it was stored.

A monument dedicated to French explorer Samuel de Champlain standson the grounds of St. Mary’s Church in the village which bears his name.

See CHAMPLAIN, page 26


However, this year as another event for the Quadri-centennial, the Champlain Quadricentennial Com-mittee held a special ceremony on Memorial Day tomake sure the plaque returned to its rightful place.

During the ceremony, remains of an unknown sol-dier, which had previously been in the care of Wan-da Langley of Champlain, were buried at the site.

Celine R. Paquette, vice chairperson of the Cham-plain-Hudson-Fulton Quadricentennial Committee,commended the event which was purposely timed tocoincide with this year ’s celebration of Samuel deChamplain’s exploration of the region.

“This is a terrific example of a community that is‘Quadricizing’ an event to tie in with the 400th an-niversary of Samuel de Champlain’s arrival here, butalso embracing the history that had evolved subse-quently at this site,” said Paquette.

Paquette has been very involved in this year ’sQuad events, even opening the Samuel de ChamplainHistory Center, located on Elm Street in the village ofChamplain.

The center allows visitors to take a step back intime, by looking a books, photos and numerous arti-facts which reflect Samuel de Champlain and his voy-age and exploration of the area.

So if it’s history you’re into, you can’t miss all thatChamplain has to offer. From historic sites to theQuadricentennial, the town and village has much tooffer.

A plaque can be seen at Point au Fer, a community within the town of Champlain, whichwas erected by the Saranac Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution in hon-or of the unknown British and American soldiers who died between 1776-1798.

The towns of Mooers andMooers Forks are rural commu-nities bordering Canada, andthe towns of Champlain and El-lenburg. Although consideredsmall towns, they encompass avast area full of opportunity forfisherman, campers, those whosimply prefer to take a nicecountry drive.

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 camper in you, headover to Lazy Days Campsite —a full-service campground, lo-cated just off the Miller Road inMooers Forks, offering manyfun activities including darts,pool, horseshoes, mini-putt,basketball, volleyball, a five-hole golf course, a four-acrepond and an in-ground swim-ming pool.

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 was

also 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 11

and 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. At the upperend, the beaver pond actuallyempties into a small, partiallyunderground stream that feedsinto the second beaver pond.The gorge is surrounded by300-foot cliffs, which are madeup of stratified sedimentaryrock formations.

The Gulf has been comparedto Ausable Chasm because of itsrock formations, although it isquite different as there is nosound of rushing water.

According to Canadian Con-servation authorities, this areaalso has intriguing topographyand bird life, also harboringseveral species of rare salaman-ders — so be sure to bring yourbinoculars and a camera!

ROUSES POINT — There are many opportunities waiting foryou in the historic village of Rouses Point.

The village was first settled in about 1783 by Canadian and NovaScotian refugees who were granted tracts of land in reward fortheir services during the American Revolution. A variety of shopsand tradespeople such as loggers, bakers, tailors, carpenters,blacksmiths and hatters thrived in the village in the years that fol-lowed largely due to its location.

Settlers must have seen the real value in the village’s locationon the shoreline of Lake Champlain, which is today known for be-ing a recreation hotspot. Little did the settlers know the villagewould also become an important gateway to Canada, Vermont andthe rest of New England.

The village’s downtown is in the midst of a renaissance, withshops and eateries making over their buildings to become more intune with the historic character of the area. The village’s mainstreet, Lake Street, is a beautiful place to take a walk and admireseveral beautiful lake-front homes. If you head north to Mont-gomery Street, there’s an impressive pier which is a great place tolook out onto Lake Champlain and view a skyline of the moun-tains of Vermont. As you head south on Lake Street, there is a walk-out stone pier, called the breakwater, that provides a great placeto spend a few hours fishing. It’s just one of the many waterfrontfeatures the village has worked hard to promote.

The Rouses Point Civic Center, located on Lake Street is one ofthe main places community events are held. The civic center wasbuilt in 1978 with upgrades to the building made in 1996, allow-ing for its year-round use. During the summer, the center hostsseveral events including dances, trade shows and sporting events.Adjacent to the facility are baseball fields, soccer fields, tenniscourts, a playground, and an outdoor gazebo for family gather-ings. Who says you can’t have it all?

The scenic village of Rouses Point is also home to Fort Mont-gomery, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.The fort has more than 70 fireplaces and is described as an “im-posing stone structure more than 40 feet high.” It is beautifully setout in Lake Champlain and connected to an island measuring ap-proximately 1,300-feet in length by 500-feet in width. A 700-foot-long causeway connects the island to the mainland.

Once a passageway for warships and military cargo during thecountry’s struggle to obtain and maintain its independence, thelake is now a playground for pleasure boats, fishing boats, and alltypes of watercraft — a true destination for tourists.


The village of Rouses Point welcomes you

It’s not an unfamiliar sight to see children enjoying all there is to do in thevillage of Rouses Point. The annual Fourth of July Celebration attractspeople from across the region, yet is only one of many community eventsthat showcases this piece of small town America.
