Most Beautiful Hockey Rink in the World: Pond Hockey in the Adks

The Adirondacks are all about family memories and enjoying natural beauty. Our waterfront properties are great in the winter for snowshoeing, Nordic and Alpine skiing, and, of course awesome pond hockey games says LandVest broker Vinny McClelland. Of course, something hot to drink at the end tops off the whole experience. My favorite waterfront listings for winter enjoyment are Skenewood and Rock Harbor on Lake Champlain; Hamilton Lake has the best post-pond hockey fireplace in the Great Camp Lodge.

For more information on Adirondack listings (and for great advice on the best secret places to enjoy the Adks in the wintertime (pond hockey and powder stashes), contact Vinny McClelland atvmcclelland@landvest.com or 518-576-2297.
