Enjoy The View at Saratoga Lake's Waterfront Park!
"Looking for a great spot to picnic or kayak while you're visiting Saratoga? While most of the beaches are privately owned besides Brown's Beach, the Waterfront Park is a fantastic spot to enjoy the day on Saratoga Lake.
This beautiful public space opened in July of 2015 after a number of years were spent brainstorming how to develop the four-acre parcel of land off Crescent Avenue.
The lower level of parcel has been transformed into a sandy beach, perfect for enjoying a sunny day. Above the beach on the middle tier, there is a small amphitheater that allows for community gathering and events overlooking Saratoga Lake. On the top tier, there is a parking lot and staircase that leads to both the amphitheater and beach area. As of Summer 2015, there were no plans for swimming at the beachfront." (quoted from saratoga.com)
This is one of our favorite spots to launch the kayaks: free parking, no portage required, and a nice little dock makes for easy in and out. A short paddle south takes you to the mouth of the Kayaderrosseras. No motorboats, swimming, campfires, or feeding the ducks allowed, and the park is open dawn to dusk. Enjoy!
