And three of the four partners in the business were raised behind the counters as Hoss’s Country Corner, but that’s a story for another day.

Long Lake Marina. Rent a boat. You know you want to. Lake levels are at their lowest levels ever recorded. Ok, that could be an exaggeration. Did you know there was a boat moored at the very north-end of Long Lake this summer for two weeks because camp owners had to navigate over a sand-bar just to get to their summer home? Talk about low-water! It’s the best of Adirondack living. It’s called… make it up as you go along. Also check out the rocks along the shoreline.

Great knowledge of paddling the waters in and around the Long Lake and central Adirondack region.
