Schroon Lake is located  in the Adirondack Mountains, 47 miles north of Glens Falls along Highway 9 in the Northern Region of the state of New York.
The town offers a very nice free public beach within a short walk of Main Street as well as a public pier and waterfront park with the prerequisite bandstand.

In 2004, the Town of Schroon  celebrated its bicentennial. 
Whether the township’s name was a derivation of Indian origin or French ancestry is a matter of opinion, however most writers on the subject would probably lean toward the Madame Scaroon theory. Both are mere legend. The name Schroon today without question has been a subject of distortion over the years by its very own settlers. The town’s name Sacroon remained on its records until 1837.
