Sunset on Long Lake
The above photo was taken in Long Lake, NY. Long Lake is in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains (The Adirondack State Park, New York). It’s just a small hamlet, but well worth a trip. While you’re there, you can take a ride in a Seaplane. Helm’s Seaplane Service with it’s two well known planes, one blue and one brown, is located right in the middle of the main part of “town”. They’ve been in operation since 1946 and it’s well worth the ride-the view is spectacular. If you can’t imagine taking flight in a small prop plane, at least take a look at the photos they have, there are some pretty famous people that have flown Helms! While you’re there, stop by the Adirondack Inn for lunch or dinner. You can look out over the northern portion of the lake from the dining area, and even see the seaplanes landing. You can pick up any groceries you need across the street at Northern Borne-maybe some trailmix for the short hike to the beautiful Buttermilk Falls which is located about 5 minutes from town. Don’t forget to stop by Hoss’s Country Corner for a souviner or two before you go. There are more great Adirondack photos in my shop and on my website. If you’d like more info on Long Lake, check out thier website at http://www.longlake-ny.com/ it’s a great place for a peaceful mountain vacation. Far enough from Lake Placid to lose the “touristy” attractions, but right in the heart of the mountains! If you’d like to bring home the beauty of the Adirondacks, please click the photograph or one of the links to my shops in the sidebar for items featuring my sunset photograph.
