Tubing Hill

Snow Tubing Isn't Just For Kids

Need a fun outing for the kids or the young at heart? I recently spent a day learning about what fun winter activities Schroon Lake, NY has to offer! 

One activity that stood out amongst the more traditional options was snow tubing at the golf course. Of course I had to see for myself how big this hill was so, I took a quick ride to the golf course to scope out the tubing potential. I was pleasantly surprised to find a 700 foot long hill in front of me. One side of the hill is used for tubing and the other offers a tow-rope for skiers to get a lift to the top of the hill. Not only is this a FREE activity, yes I said FREE but there is a little warm-up room and a concession stand for those particularly chilly winter temperatures.  

During the season the hill will be open starting at 4pm under the lights on Friday evenings, it will also be open during the evenings on Saturdays, Sundays, and throughout school holidays. So bring your tube or skis but most importantly your love for fun! Take some time to enjoy an activity that will make you feel like a kid again.

Getting There

The Schroon Lake Tubing Hill is an easy find if you're not familiar with the area. Just take Exit 27 on the New York State Northway, either from north or south bound. From there follow the signs to the Town Park and golf course off the exit ramp. When you see the golf course on your left follow the road as it travels around the course until you reach the back, there you will see the hill along with a large parking area. After you exhaust yourself with fun and laughter take a trip into town and enjoy a walk boasting beautiful lake views and a meal to refuel for your next adventure!
