IMAGINE . .
.
. . .The murmur of rapids cascading from
woodland peaks, the trumpet of Canada Geese, the pastel wave
of wildflowers. Imagine drinking in the scent of lilac and honeysuckle,
and feeling the soft green grass spring up beneath your toes.
Imagine a place where the childhood you thought was over is rediscovered,
where your wonder is rekindled and your soul revived like the
season blossoming all around you. Imagine this myriad of miracles,
multiply it by infinity, and then maybe you'll be close to imagining
Spring in Blue Mountain Lake.
At Prospect
Point, we understand your need to imagine. We've felt the stress,
endured the crowds, dealt with the deadlines, longed for home.
We've traveled to distant lands and despite the treasures there,
truly feel (with no disrespect intended toward the rest of the
planet) that our lake in the mountains is the single most beautiful
place we've ever had the privilege of being in.

Spring
is the perfect season to enjoy wildlife. Beaver and muskrat emerge
from their lodges; osprey and falcon soar our skies once more.
If you're lucky you might spot a mink or marten dashing along
the shoreline, or come face to face with an otter - who's equally
curious about you!
While we can't predict
what creatures you might see, some of our recent Springtime guests
were thrilled to share the premises with a tiny fawn, whose mother
had made the thickets of Prospect Point her nursery. |

Spring
also heralds several delightful Blue Mountain Lake traditions:
the famed No-Octane Regatta (Saturday, June 14th), sponsored
each year by the Adirondack Museum. Join fellow guests and Adirondackers
on nearby Little Wolf Lake for a day of races, boat exhibits
and fun! Any wooden non-motorized craft is welcome to join,
from homemade rowboats and kayaks to birchbark canoes.
The famed Adirondack Birding Festival (June 20-22), sponsored
each year by Hamilton County, is free with your stay. Join family
members and fellow guests for four incredible days filled with
nature hikes, birdwalks, canoe trips and dynamic presentations.
Be assured, we won't just drop you off in the wilderness - you'll
be led by some of the most knowledgeable guides in the mountains.
Ride over to Moose River on a starlit night and call for coyotes
and owls. Canoe through hidden marshes and lakes and spot rare
birds and wild creatures. Join us on driving safaris down backwoods
roads and discover parts of the wilderness that elude even many
Adirondackers. You can participate in whichever events you feel
like, and just rest up and do what you please the rest of the
time. But whatever you do, by all means take the camera!
