This is a fantastic place to grab a coffee or lunch in North Creek. Amazing deli sandwiches. It's a bit further to drive (NorthCreek is 25 minutes from Birchwood), but if you've been exploring and have a big appetite it's worth the drive.

A great restaurant for a hearty meal after a day of adventure. It is about 30 minutes from Birchwood, but if you are in the NorthCreek area (for skiing, rafting, hiking etc) then it makes a great place to eat. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal there after a particularly strenuous snowshoe hike!!! Check their website for opening hours.

A curious little place, but if you want a more formal meal with a home cooked vibe, this is a good place. You feel like you're going to someone's home, and you are! The food is good and well presented. The seafood we had was excellent. The ambiance.... well, it's like you are sitting on your neighbors screened in porch, or in their dining room! Note, only open during the summer season.

This is in the process of becoming The Schroon Lake Department Store. The new owners have spent the winter doing extensive renovations and have worked exceptionally hard to be open for this season. The outside isn't finished and the inside is still in progress but it is a treasure trove of goodies. It is definitely worth a visit. We soon expect to see the original stained glass sign go back up across the frontage of the building declaring it's original name of "the Schroon Lake Department Store". We are all very excited and encourage you to support this wonderful small town business.
