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 Mountainand by scenic Chazy Lake in the town ofDannemora on its way back to Saranac.This route involves more strenuous climb-ing around Lyon Mountain, which has anelevation 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 dur-ing the early 1900s. The Miner Story trailcontinues through the cornfields, wood-lands and pastures in Chazy and windsthrough the hamlet of Sciota, town of Al-tona, and town of Mooers before circlingback.

“The Flatlander” is a 21.1-mile ride thatoffers a change of pace — or, at least eleva-tion — through the towns of Beekman-town and Chazy. The trail begins at thePoint au Roche State Boat Launch and trav-els across the Interstate via Spellman Roadand through the communities of WestChazy and Ingraham. On the way back tothe boat launch, there’s even an opportuni-ty to stop by 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.

Farmers market offers food, entertainmentOn your tour of the North Country, the city of Plattsburgh con-

tains a hidden gem that’s a hit with the locals — the Platts-burgh Farmers and Crafters Market.

The market, located on the banks of the Saranac River in downtownPlattsburgh’s Durkee Street Pavilion, offers great fresh produce andmany ready-to-eat treats from local farmers and producers.

The popularity of the market seems to grow every year, said marketmanager Patricia Parker. In her opinion, that’s because of what ven-dors can offer the people who stop there.

“They know they’re getting a quality product,” she said. “They knowwhere it’s coming from and what’s in it and what isn’t. Not only that,it’s family-oriented and it’s a nice place to come down and visit.”

Those who have never visited a farmers market are missing out onthe overall experience of buying from and supporting local growersand producers in a friendly, warm and inviting family-oriented atmos-phere.

“It’s really a family market, because there’s always something for thewhole family,” said Parker. “People don’t just walk in, buy somethingand walk out. They stay, they visit with their friends, they listen to blue-grass music or whatever entertainment we happen to have that day.”

The Plattsburgh Farmers and Crafters Market is open 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.Saturdays and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesdays through the fall, offeringa selection of bedding and vegetable plants, flowers, and other localproducts such as maple syrup, honey and baked goods. Arts and craftsfrom area artisans and entertainment from local performers helpsround out the market.

For more information about the Plattsburgh Farmers and CraftersMarket, visit the market Web site at www.plattsburghfarmersand-craftersmarket.com or contact Parker at 518-493-6761.

The Plattsburgh Farmers and Crafters Market, located in the DurkeeStreet Pavilion, is constantly filled with people checking out the wide se-lection of vegetables, produce and other local products that is available.

If you’re looking for a scenic place tovisit, you cannot deny the beauty ofthe town of Peru. With its vast fields,

and views of Vermont’s Green Mountains,this town is worth stopping for. And, ofcourse, there are numerous apple orchardswhich add the incredible perspective of thiscountryside.

When heading to Peru, a must-stop placeto add to the itinerary is AuSable Point, lo-cated at 3346 Lake Shore Road. Althoughthis location is a campground, there is plen-ty more to do than sit by a bonfire.

For those interested in wind surfing thereis a designated area near campsite number4 at the campgrounds, known as the “StoneJetty.” Wind surfers may park in the day-use area and load and unload at the camp-site.

For the fisherman in you, stop by AuS-able Point on almost any day, and you’recertain to find a fellow fisherman hoping tomake a lucky catch. Some fish you may findin this area include northern pike, large-mouth bass, smallmouth bass, lake trout,brown trout, salmon, bullhead perch,walleyes, carp, smelt, eel, crappie, andbluegill.

There is also a picnic area with a rentablepavilion and a beach area for swimming.

Designated as a Department of Environ-mental Conservation campground, AuS-able Point is also one of the go-to places forthe Northern New York Audubon Society toview the more than 200 birds that have beenrecorded in the Champlain Valley.

Within the town of Peru, there’s the ham-let of Valcour on the shore of Lake Cham-plain — which is the home of Valcour Is-land. The island is the home of the BluffPoint Lighthouse, which was erected in thespring of 1874. Its purpose was to guideships through the channel between the is-land and the shores of New York. This light-house is the only one on Lake Champlain tobe listed on the National Register of His-toric Places.

With the lighthouse being on an island,many people choose to view it by canoeingor kayaking their way over. With the beau-tiful backdrop of Vermont, it’s worth thetrip across the pond.

The lighthouse is open to the public dur-ing the summer through the Clinton Coun-ty Historical Association (they may bereached at 518-561-0340).

The Peru and Keeseville area is also hometo a rich history of the Underground Rail-road, an escape route utilized by slaves inthe 1800s trying to seek refuge in free states.Many local, private Underground Railroadsites still exist today within the foothills ofthe Adirondacks. One such site is the Haff-Smith-Stafford farm on Union Road in Peru— in fact, it is one of the more famous localsites still in existence.

Hundreds of slaves made their waythrough what was called a “dangeroustrek” practically every night as they fledthrough the Champlain Valley, throughwhat was the final stretch of the Under-ground Railroad before they reached thesanctuary of Canada.

You’ll also want to visit the old BaptistChurch in neighboring Keeseville, whichonce housed an Anti-Slavery Society meet-ing and welcomed two of the most promi-nent abolitionists — John Brown and Ger-rit Smith. According to legend, several fugi-tive slaves are buried in an old burialground located behind the old church.

The New Land Trust ofSaranac, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization, is a

unique area in the AdirondackMountains specially preservedfor the nature-lover in you.

For more than 30 years, mem-bers of the New Land Trust havebeen working to keep the 287acres of land preserved for theenjoyment of all.

During the summer, the 20trails throughout NLT can beused for bird watching, or simplyto enjoy a picnic.

If it’s bird watching you’re into, the land trust’s nature bloggeron the Web site, www.new-landtrust.org, listed the numer-ous birds they saw and heard onone outing. From flycatchers, towarblers, to robins and hawks. Inall, 18 different kinds of birdswere found.

For the hiker in you, the Website offers a comprehensive mapof 25 different trails throughoutthe land trust. Along the trails arevarious types of trees, includingsugar maples, black cherry, bal-sam fir, and American basswood.

However, not all nature-loverscan necessarily identify thespecies of a tree. The NLT canhelp you with that.

Last year, Hannah Racette, alocal Girl Scout, worked for hersilver award by putting trailmarkers with the tree speciesalong various trails.

“I go to the land trust a lot andI thought it would be a good ideafor them to have a tree informa-tion trail,” said Racette. “I want-ed to learn more about the treesbecause I didn’t know much

about them before.”“Now, I can identify them and

I can help other people to do that,too,” she added.

The trail system also includesvarious land markers as well.

With all the land trust has to of-fer, something that people mayfind missing is the sounds of carsand other modern technology.

Set so far off the beaten path,truly the only noises to be heardthroughout the New Land Trust,are the ones mother nature hascreated.

The NLT is located at 236Plumadore Road and is accessi-ble from State Route 3 in the townof Saranac by taking Chazy LakeRoad to Clark Hill Road, contin-uing several miles before reach-ing Plumadore Road on the right.

After a long day exploring na-ture, get back on Route 3 andtravel to Morrisonville, a littlehamlet of Plattsburgh. Thereyou’ll find two gems knownthroughout the community as theplace to be during the summer.First is Ronnie’s Michigan Stand,which serves diner food, fromhamburgers, to french fries, tochicken tenders. And of course,Michigan hot dogs — a NorthCountry favorite.

After a filling dinner, savesome space and head down theroad to Harrigan’s Soft Ice Creamfor dessert.

If you’re still looking for somefun, try the Cadyville Disc GolfCourse — a nine-hole course atthe Cadyville Recreation Park onGoddeau Road. The course isopen to the public seven days aweek.

Located on 287 acres of land in the Adirondack Mountains, the New Land Trustis committed to preserving nature. Seen here, a new tree is planted at the NewLand Trust in Saranac during an Earth Day celebration.

Come Join Us For Our Come Join Us For Our 100th Anniversary

August 1st • 1910 – 2010 August 1st • 1910 – 2010 Looking for Vintage Cars to be in our Parade!

Elizabethtown is steepedin history and one busi-ness that’s been a part of

that history for quite some time isEgglefield Bros., the town’s localFord dealership.

The business is celebrating its100th anniversary this year, whichis something owner Dennis Eggle-field is quite proud of, he said.

“It actually started in 1909,when my great-grandfather want-ed to buy a car. He was ordering acar for himself and he had a friendwho told him if he would orderone for him, he’d buy it fromhim,” said Egglefield.

That’s when Egglefield’s great-grandfather, Wilbur B. Egglefield,laid plans to begin his businessthe following year.

“They started out with three cars and itmushroomed from there,” said Egglefield.

The dealership moved to New Russia thefollowing year where it remained until 1919,when the business moved back to Elizabeth-town on Maple Street.

“We’ve been at this location ever since,”said Egglefield.

Egglefield Bros. has seen a lot of historyover the years.

“We’ve been through the Great Depres-sion, a couple of world wars, the oil embar-goes of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. We’vebeen through it all,” said Egglefield.

Including the years before vehicles weresimply mass produced and shipped to deal-erships the way they are today, he said.

“Our vehicles used to comeunassembled by freight train. Wehad to go to Westport and actuallyassemble them and drive themhome,” said Egglefield. “Ofcourse, those were the early yearsway before my time.”

Today, Egglefield Bros. has twolocations — Elizabethtown andState Route 86 in Ray Brook. Thelatter of which is run by Eggle-field’s son, Cory, making Eggle-field Bros. a fifth-generation busi-ness.

The reason Egglefield Bros. hasbeen so successful boils down theircore philosophy of taking care oftheir customers.

“This business isn’t about cars,it’s about people,” said Egglefield. “It’s theway we’ve done business over the past 100years. We strive to keep our customers hap-py.”

Egglefield Bros. will host a 100th anniver-sary celebration Sunday, Aug. 1, beginningat 10 a.m. The event will be held rain orshine. For more information, visit their Website, www.egglefieldbros.com.

Welcome to the Crossroads of the Adirondacks!

When driving throughChazy, it is clear tosee it is an agricul-

tural town, complete with beau-tiful farming landscapes seen formiles. The town offers quaintsettings for family-oriented ac-tivities, such as a recreation parkon North Farm Road with fourbaseball fields, a soccer field,small playground, and two cov-ered pavilions perfect for host-ing a family outing.

The Great Chazy River alsoruns through the town, from thetown of Dannemora to LakeChamplain, providing opportu-nities for some excellent boatingand fishing.

Among the must-see places inthe town is the William H. Min-er Agricultural Research Insti-tute, located at 1031 Miner FarmRoad. According to its Web site,the institute “is committed to itsmission of research, education, and demonstration.” Part of thatmission is community outreach, specifically to inform the publicabout the agricultural industry throughout the region and how itimpacts the environment.

William H. Miner, a philanthropist of the early 1900s, owned theland the institute now sits on, which was created in 1951. In 1915,Miner was quoted as saying, “No other occupation is so vitally im-portant to the human race, nor requires such a wide range of prac-tical and technical knowledge, as farming.” This quote summarizesthe true essence of the institute.

People are welcome to visit the institute, including the horse barnand dairy barn, anytime throughout the year.

The institute now has an equine program, including a herd ofMorgan horses. According to the Web site, www.whminer.com, thestables and herd of horses are used to “demonstrate good farm,

breeding and training practices.”Aside from the barns, the institute also offers a Wayside Walk,

with 10 outdoor panels offering an abbreviated version of life onthe farm, both as a worker and as a guest of the Miners. The panelsare placed within a garden walk, which overlook the Morgan horsepasture.

Adjacent to the walk is the Heritage Exhibit, which is open Mon-day through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., opened in 2003, offeringa tribute to Miner and his wife, Alice, along with the farm they de-veloped. The exhibit, located in the farm’s original storehouse, fea-tures several videos portraying life on the farm, including footageand photographs from the time. There is also a large diorama of thefarm and a model of the home Miner lived.

Another must-see at the farm is the Coach House, which openedin 2007. Housed there are some of the vehicles purchased by Min-

er, which were used on the Heart’s Delight Farm. Fromhorse-drawn buggies, to wagons, to sleighs and car-riages, the highlight of the exhibit is the “InternationalSchool Bus,” which was donated to the Chazy CentralRural School and maintained at the farm.

To schedule group tours of the farm, contact RachelDutil at 518-846-7121, ext. 115. Admission is free.

The farm’s main source of water which bears Miner ’swife’s name, Lake Alice, was part of a 1,400-acre proper-ty sold to the state to form the Lake Alice Wildlife Man-agement Area, which opened the property to the publicfor outdoor recreation.

Another place to stop in Chazy is the Alice T. MinerMuseum, located at 9618 State Route 9. The museum,which focuses on Alice’s personal taste and the ColonialRevival Movement, houses numerous items from her col-lection, in the large three-story building, opened by Al-ice herself in 1924.

The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday, from10 a.m. to 4 p.m., guided tours are held at 10 a.m., 12 p.m.,and 2 p.m. The museum may be reached at 518-846-7336.

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

More than 400years ago, Frenchexplorer Samuel

de Champlain traveled theregion. In the town and vil-lage which bares his name, itis evident the man is remem-bered and honored.

A large monument ofChamplain, which was erect-ed in 1907, is located at St.Mary’s Church, 86 ChurchSt. During the 350th anniver-sary celebration of Cham-plain’s travels, the monu-ment was rededicated, prov-ing the importance to thecommunity.

Another place to visitwhile in Champlain, to learnmore of the history of the ex-plorer, is the Samuel deChamplain History Center.The building, located at 202Elm St., was purchased by Ce-line R. Paquette in 2001. Paque-tte, who was the vice chair ofthe Hudson-Fulton-ChamplainQuadricentennial events of

2009, opened the center to ful-fill a long-standing dream ofhers.

The center houses more than300 books, including the largestcollection of Franco-Americanmaterial anywhere in the Unit-

ed States, which she purchasedfrom Dr. André Sénécal, retireddirector of Canadian Studies atthe University of Vermont. Thecenter also has maps, picturesand many other artifacts, alltied to Champlain.

Throughout the years sincepurchasing the building, Pa-quette has been diligentlyworking on restoring thebuilding, which was original-ly a bank, built in 1880.

One of the most uniquethings about the building, isthere are no squared corners.That’s because the buildingfollows the contours of theGreat Chazy River, whichflows throughout the North-ern Tier.

One of the most recent in-stallments of the building is astained-glass window withthe face of Champlain — cre-ated by local stained-glassartist Jean-Jacques Duval.

The downstairs portion ofthe building, once complete-ly restored, will house chang-

ing exhibits — from the historyof the town and village ofChamplain.

If interested in visiting thecenter, Paquette can be reachedat 518-298-1609.

The Samuel de Champlain History Center, located at 202 Elm St., houses numerousdocuments and artifacts surrounding Samuel de Champlain.

Historic Champlain named after French explorer• Champlain


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

town charm. The community ofMooers and Mooers Forks is stillone of those places.

The towns of Mooers andMooers Forks are rural commu-nities bordering Canada, and thetowns of Champlain and Ellen-burg.

If you enjoy fishing, you are infor a treat. There are plenty of ac-cess areas to get to the GreatChazy River, where there’s plen-ty of brook and rainbow trout tobe caught.

For the historian in you, Mooers has theMooers Junction railway depot, currentlyowned by local railway author LarryMarnes. A longtime railroad collector,Marnes has gathered his artifacts andhoused them in the station, which was inservice for nearly 100 years, before closingin 1961.

When Marnes purchased the building in2003, the roof was leaking badly, windowswere smashed and brush had become over-grown. It took him five years to restore it.

“I think my biggest fear is this is one ofthe few remaining historical buildings inthis town and if somebody doesn’t do any-thing with it, eventually this lot will besold, somebody will flatten it and build ahouse here,” he said.

Now the building is a sort of museum,and if interested in touring the facility,Marnes can be contacted at 518-236-7160.

“Most of this is stuff that’s been collect-ed, it represents what was here and it’s inthe places where it was,” Marnes said of hismemorabilia. “Anybody that is interested,

if they want to see it, [they] can comein and take a look at it. That’s theidea.”

If you would prefer to just take inthe beauty of the region, a great sce-nic view to check out is the Gulf —also called the Covey Hill Gorge andthe Devil’s Den Punchbowl. Thougha bit of a hike, the geological marvelis a reminder of the glaciers that re-ceded some 12,000 years ago. Rumorhas it, the Gulf was also a remoteplace frequented by rumrunnersback in the days of prohibition.

The trail leading to the Gulf can beaccessed from Rock Road, a 3.9-miledrive from the intersection of U.S.

Route 11 and Cannons Corners Road inMooers Forks. It is approximately a 2.5-mile walk, which can get rough in some ar-eas, so you’ll want to wear some good hik-ing shoes or boots.

The gorge is actually about one mile inlength, with beaver ponds at each end. Ac-cording to Canadian Conservation author-ities, this area also has intriguing topogra-phy and bird life, also harboring severalspecies of rare salamanders — so be sure tobring your binoculars and a camera!

Experience the charm of Mooers and Mooers Forks

The Mooers Junction railway depot is proof the town of Mooers still em-bodies the small-town charm.

When it comes to the village of Rouses Point, stoppingthrough just to take in the breathtaking views is worthit. However, if you’re interested in doing more than

siteseeing, try doing the following:• Sail Away — Rouses Point is situated right on Lake Champlain,

which was once listed as the sixth largest Great Lake. With ampleopportunity for water sports, sailing events and a vibrant water-front community, residents and visitors alike can take a boat ridealong Lake Champlain to where it becomes the Richelieu River.

• View Historic Fort Montgomery — These ruins are all that isleft of the strategically critical 19th century fort. The fort, whichis privately owned and not open to the public, can be viewed fromthe Korean War Veterans’ Memorial Bridge which connects the vil-lage to Vermont.

• Dodge Memorial Library is an historic site located on LakeStreet and is a fine example of the Rouses Point architecture. Thelibrary’s collection of books and periodicals totals over 14,000 -with an extensive children’s section. Events and programs spon-sored by the library engage the community.

• Marinas — Barcombs Marina, Gaines Marina, and The Mari-na at Lighthouse Point provide seasonal events and activities —from regattas to festivals.

• Recreation — The village is the absolute perfect setting forsummer. Enjoy hiking, camping, golfing, cycling, fishing, boatingand water sports on Lake Champlain.

• Lakes to Locks Passage — Take the “Great Northeast Journey”and let history come alive along this scenic route — from theChamplain Canal to the Richelieu Valley. Recreational opportuni-ties abound along this route.

• Stroll along Lake Street — Browse unique shops, sample spe-cialty foods and enjoy a charming café complete with WiFi zone.Don’t miss the Montgomery Street Pier, part of the revitalizedMontgomery Street Waterfront Park area. Located only one blockfrom downtown Rouses Point, the pier provides a scenic walk,fishing areas and expanded enjoyment of the waterfront.

• D & H Roundhouse — Part of the Delaware and Hudson Rail-road station, this roundhouse is the last of its kind on this railwaysystem. The Delaware and Hudson Station on Pratt Street, whichwas crucial to the development of Rouses Point as a railroad town,is in the process of being restored.

• Travel the Rum Trail — Go back in time when run runnerswould cross into Canada with contraband booze. Stop in any ofthe local restaurants and bars to enjoy your favorite prohibition-era libation!

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