Beautiful Year Round!

Paradox Lake is beautiful all year round. I have been here numerous times throughout the year and it never disappoints. My favorite time to come is during the fall, when the leaves are changing colors and its a little colder outside. I have also visited (but didn't stay) in the winter when the lake has frozen over, and it is still gorgeous. During the summer months you can obviously do more in the water because it is warm outside, but it does get pretty busy June-August. There are many other great lakes nearby that you can always do side visits to if you stay here. There is Schroon Lake which is only about 10 minutes away. There are quite a few camping sites within the park, I want to say there is about 60 sites total. Just FYI, not all camping spots are by the water. I learned this the first time I stayed here. I thought every site would have a perfect, close access to the water, but that wasn't correct. Only about 5 sites are right on the water. The people who work at the campground are amazing. They are so friendly and helpful. We wanted to do some hiking, and they were able to direct us in the right direction. We ended up hiking Pharoah Mountain, which was pretty good trek but totally worth it. The campground is well maintained and taken care of, and the bathrooms are actually clean (which is a shocker because most places aren't!). This was a total A+ for me. I also will say that during the summer months, it is not only more crowded but it definitely is loud. I know my friends and I came here one summer to celebrate college classes being done, and there were a lot of other college students doing the same. A lot of people drinking, and loud music. Just FYI :) Great place, great lake!
