The Great Outdoors

Schroon River flows right through the Sharp Bridge Campground and is a beautiful spot for fishing. The river is stocked annually with brown trout and brook trout, so there should always be great fishing. Just a few miles away are the small Courtney Pond and Dead Water Pond, both good for fishing and getting out on the water in a canoe or kayak. For motorboats, try either Schroon Lake or Paradox Lake, a short drive south from the campground. Both offer great fishing, water sports with boat rental at the lake.

To the east of Sharp Bridge Campground is Lake Champlain, which stretches for over 107 miles north to south, forming part of the border between New York and Vermont and also reaches into Canada. The lake has been a strategic point for centuries, and along both sides, you can find many old forts and military installations to visit, some dating back to the early 1700s.

While motorhome camping at Sharp Bridge Campground, you are surrounded by opportunities to get out hiking. From the campground, there are two well-marked trails. The Round Pond Trails is a moderate graded 8-mile out and back route that initially follows the Schroon River and ends at Round Pond. Along the way, there are some lovely views, wildlife to spot, and wildflowers to admire. Apart from an initial steep climb, the majority of the route is fairly flat. During the winter, the trail is used for cross-country skiing. Also starting from the campground is the Clap Mountain Trail, a shorter 3-mile out and back route that with beautiful views from the top of the Sharp Bridge Cliffs. An easy trail is the Shingletree Pond hike that starts at Courtney Pond, a short distance south of the RV campground. It’s an easy, 1.5-mile hike that connects two pretty ponds.
