Play in the Bay! - Waterfall, Picnic, Swimming, and In-the-lake-V-ball @Log Bay
Details
Let's Play the Day away at Log Bay on Lake George!
We always have a great time at this spot. If you have never been, this is a picnic area abutting the bay where all the party boats dock and hang out.
At Shelving Rock/Log Bay you can relax on the shore, swim, and play volleyball ... right in the bay! … as the water is generally waist-deep throughout a large part of the bay. On the other side you can even jump off a small cliff. If you are feeling extra adventurous, I will be arriving via my small jet boat, later in the afternoon can take a few brave souls about a mile down the bay to Calf's Pen... where there are cliffs from 10-40 feet to jump off. If folks want to work off some of the hot dogs, later in the afternoon you can hit the 3.5 mile beginner hike of the Shelving Rock Summit which has some great views of the Bay at the top.
Note, the trail Lot#5 is only about a half mile each way, but it is a dirt trail, not flip-flop-able. We'll meet in the parking lot then start with a short 1/2 hike down up the picnic area to drop off our stuff, then continue up another half mile to the waterfalls. We'll then head back to the bay.
We’ll picnic right by the Bay, so bring a bag chair though, as there are not ususally any free picnic tables available there. We will be have a portable grill and cook up some hotdogs 🌭🌭 for everyone.
Please bring something to drink for yourself (no glass bottles). Also bring either an easy-to-carry-n-share dish, snack or dessert … or $5 toward the hot dogs and accoutrements.
We will meet at Parking Lot #5 on Shelving Rock Road at 10:45 pm and head to Shelving Rock Falls at 11:00 am sharp.
Parking Lot #5 is off of Shelving Rock Road. If you enter Shelving Rock Falls into MapQuest it should bring you to it. However, there is no cell service anywhere close to the parking lot and you will be going down dirt roads long enough that you will wonder if you are going the wrong way. So, please note and screenshot before you leave the following directions in case you have any issues finding Parking Lot #5:
- You will get off Exit 20 of the Northway and get on Buttermilk Falls Road.
- Buttermilk Falls Road will merge into Sly Pond Road.
- Sly Pond Road will become Shelving Rock Road.
- After you've been on Shelving Rock Road for a little while you will start to see Parking Lots. They are clearly labeled starting at #1. Parking lot #5 is on the left side.
It's possible that Parking Lot #5 will be full. If so, you can park at Parking Lot #4 or #6 and walk there as neither is far.
Please bring: Sunscreen, bug spray, a swimsuit, towel, sunglasses, visor/hat and water sneakers or beach shoes.
If you have any questions at all regarding this trip, please message me (Alec) directly.
