Remembering Scaroon Manor

As the new Scaroon Manor day use site was re-launched today, it's time to reflect on what the old place looked like. Hard to image that Scaroon once featured 100 buildings, housed 800 guests, attracted top notch entertainers, had its own golf course, marina, tennis court complex, basketball court with lights, roller skating ring and handball courts. All of it thriving until the 1960s, when resorts like this fell out of favor. Did you ever go to The Manor back in the day? Share your memories in comments.

Anyone For Tennis?

Of the many Schroon Lake summer traditions, the annual Tennis Tournament attracts a lot of attention. And this year was no different, as players battled the heat and each other. Play took place last Monday through Friday, with the finals on Saturday. A picnic and awards ceremony followed. Organizer Barbara Storace said this year’s tournament was one of the best.

“It was great fun this year and we had many new participants; one family being the van Windens!,” Barabra told Schroon Laker. See how the van Windens and all the players faired after the jump. Did you play this year? Tell us about your experience in comments.
