Gateway to the
Adirondack Mountains in the Lake George Region.
A four-season community on the Schroon and Hudson Rivers.
Warrensburg is a quiet town that has
preserved much of its past while looking forward to the future. Historic
post-Colonial and Victorian era homes remain on tree-lined streets, continuing
to serve their occupants well as they enter the 21st century. Vestiges of the
water-powered mills along Schroon River remain, but find new uses as restaurants
and antique shops. Waterside parks offer access for fishing, boating and
picnicking.

Located
in the southern Adirondacks, Warrensburg is surrounded by the foothills of one
of the oldest mountain ranges in the country.
Much of this heavily forested terrain is state-owned, and available for hiking,
backpacking, Cross-country skiing and snowmobiling. Marked trails and guidebooks
enable people of all ages and experience to enjoy this national treasure. Lakes
and rivers offer canoers and rafters everything from placid waters to class V
rapids (in season). Echo Lake on the edge of the hamlet offers a recently
renovated public sand beach. Tennis courts and ball fields are open to the
public. Numerous golf courses will satisfy the needs of any golfer, and offer
unmatched scenery to make a memorable game, no matter where the ball lies.

Activities
Warrensburg is just five minutes from 32-mile-long Lake George, which offers everything from
an undeveloped, peaceful and gracious shoreline surrounded by towering mountains in the north, to fun-filled lake and shoreline activity in the south.
While visiting the Lake George region of Upstate New York be sure to take
advantage of some our recreational activities. The water quality and
clarity of Lake George is excellent. In fact the water is so clean, most of the
summer and year round residents take their daily drinking water directly from
the lake, without purification.
Shopping
Warrensburg is a resource for year-round shopping and services.
From quaint country stores to supermarkets, and from flower arrangements to camping, hunting and fishing supplies, residents from surrounding
towns and visitors in all seasons alike can find what they need. Second-hand shops serve the frugal or less fortunate, as well as offer a source of undiscovered treasures that have not yet found their way into the numerous antique shops for which the town is known.
Accommodations
Warrensburg and surrounding towns are home to numerous campgrounds, situated along the rivers or on private lakes.
Bed & Breakfasts, both in-town and rural, are a natural in this virtual living museum town. Motels and housekeeping cottages answer the needs of basic travelers and families. The Warrensburg area also contains several of the remaining fabled dude ranches for which the area became famous in the 1940s and 50s (updated, of course, to current standards).
