>> An ideal spot to visit with the free mountain bikes included with your room, it also connects to a biking/walking trail through the woods!
To get to the rest of the biking trail that branches out from the Municipal Park, you cross the road towards the McDonald's and enter the parking lot to the right of it, you'll see a green rounded triangle sign that marks a cycling/walking trail through the woods that, if you go straight on it, connects to the Tupper Lake Train Station.
The park itself has two covered picnic areas and a boat launch that is perfect for launching a canoe or kayak. Nearby is a dock perfect to sit on for those who want to dip their feet in the water.
The paved trail through the park is dotted with newly installed benches, so you don't have to worry if you didn't bring seating with you.
The park is connected to the Empire League Baseball field and also contains the Tupper Lake Bandshell, which hosts a sunset concert every Monday and occasional performances on other days.
This area has many Pokéstops and Gyms for those who enjoy Pokémon GO.
It's beautiful and quiet and a perfect place to bring some snacks and spend the evening.
This park has public restrooms.

>> a spot with a nice beach and also a trailhead for a difficult mountain
This trailhead is located on Route 3 going towards Saranac Lake, located on the left side. If you take the trail that is located on the same side of the road as the parking area, you'll walk less than a mile of flat trail and end up at a long stretch of sandy beach located on Middle Saranac Lake, perfect for swimming or lounging.
If you take the trail on the opposite side of the road from the parking area, that is the trail to the peak at Ampersand Mountain.
The first half of this trail has a moderate slope, but then it increases rapidly afterwards. Not recommended for first time hikers, but can be safely enjoyed if you have moderate prior experience. Also depending on the day, it can be quite muddy.
Distance : 2.7 miles one way | 5.4 miles round trip
Elevation gain from trailhead to peak : 1,775 feet (steep)
Mountain elevation : 3,353 feet above sea level
Rough estimate round trip time : 5 hours
