PEDESTRIAN AHEAD 

Your DESTINATION on the Right is a subtle GAP in highway guard rail.

The DRIVEWAY is in the GAP between wire rope and square steel guardrail.

The DRIVEWAY on Right also has a new yellow-on brown address "1481" at the guard rail.

The DRIVEWAY  is simply the GAP between guardrails.

(Meaning, you can't see the DRIVEWAY - it is is simply a GAP.)


Beyond the DRIVEWAY see sign for

    |   Canada Lake   |

Whoops! . . . . .THAT was quick!

      Green Lake 
      Canada Lake
Ahead there’s the

CANADA LAKE GENERAL STORE

about 1150 feet further on the LEFT.
(They stock essentials, sell espresso and have an old-fashioned phone booth, since cell phones and mountains mix poorly.)

You can U-turn around their parking lot and try the driveway again, OR call folks at the cottage.

Welcome!

Please also note the various bottom tabs, which are sub-titled as worksheets describing recent & upcoming years:  

2020, 2021, 2022, x, 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029, etc.

Worksheet titled: 2020-2029 describes an overview pattern of 
Annually Alternating Weekly Schedules, 
by Sister, 2020 through 2030

Each of the Klingbeil sisters has plans for their pair of two summertime weeks at Camp. These dates alternate annually, so that during the coming years, a mix of Adirondack weeks are fairly allocated among the sisters and their dynamic families.

Extended Klingbeil cousins, family, friends of the sisters and many others have used time at the Cottage, by arrangement with the individual sister.

Green Lake, Canada Lake and Caroga Lake are all within NY's ‘forever wild’ Adirondack Forest Preserve.

Klingbeils’ Camp is the only parcel on half of Green Lake, bordering a tract with the Adirondack Forest Preserve, below Bear Mountain.  Here is a view, looking south from Green Lake Road:
