Macomb Reservation State Park

Fishing on Davis Pond or the Salmon River is a delight any time of year. This Adirondack wilderness atmosphere boasts serene waters, a guided nature trail, and dense forests. On one side, you have mountains. On the other, there's the plain leading to Lake Champlain. You just might start singing the hills are alive…

Only non-motorized boats are allowed on Davis Pond. Bring your own craft or rent one from a nearby outfitter. The calm waters make it easy to paddle from one side of the pond to the other. Hiking trails just north of the pond delve into the forest. The shade trees make for an excellent summer walk, and fall foliage creates Instagram-worthy photos.

In the winter, the pond freezes over for fantastic ice skating or a pick-up game of hockey. Hiking trails turn to snowmobile and cross country skiing routes. Campgrounds have rustic sites and electric hook-ups for convenience.
