Regional Recreational Activities
Lake Champlain, within walking distance of the campus, is a favorite spot for enthusiasts of water sports of all kinds. Three state parks and the city beach on the shores of Lake Champlain are within a short drive of the campus. They offer sandy beaches, fireplace and picnic areas, rest room and dressing facilities, concession stands, swimming, walking trails, camping sites and spectacular, panoramic views of the historic lake.
Plattsburgh is also the North Country's gateway to the Adirondack Mountains. The Adirondack Park, the largest park area in the Northeastern United States, features myriad opportunities for hiking, climbing, hunting, fishing, boating, golfing, swimming, rock climbing, camping, picnicking and relaxing in a beautiful setting. Lake Placid, America's Olympic community in the center of the Adirondacks, is less than an hour's drive from the campus.
Burlington, Vermont's largest city, is also less than an hour from Plattsburgh. Students respond to its New England charm, its many boutiques, and its location provides easy access to all points in New England. And Montreal, one hour away in Canada, provides rich cultural contrasts - museums, festivals, concerts, and restaurants.
