Paradox Lake Campground is nestled on rolling hills of hardwood and creates the impression of being miles from the real world. With canoes and rowboats available for rent at the registration booth and abundant fish in the lake, this facility provides for camping at its finest. Paradox Lake Campground is a comparatively small campground located on the shore of Dark Bay, which is on Paradox Lake. The lake itself is approximately 4-3/4 miles long.
58 campsites, hot showers, flush toilets, trailer dump station, recycling center, boat launch site, picnic area with pavilion rental, canoe, rowboat, kayak, and standup paddleboard rentals.
Area Attractions
Boat tours and ferries on Lake Champlain, Fort Ticonderoga in Ticonderoga is 7 miles. Crown Point Historic Site, Essex County Fish Hatchery are located in Crown Pont about 10 miles away. The foremost attraction is the inviting Pharaoh Lake Wilderness Area. A wide array of adventures await those willing to journey into its forest.
Historic Interest
During the peak "run off" seasons, the flow of this lake actually reverses until the water table returns to normal.
The development of 32 camping units began in 1931, with the first official camping season to the public beginning in 1932. At that time, this facility was developed by the "Conservation Department", using its own employees. In 1951, another 4 sites were added to the inventory, and in 1968 another 22 sites were added, bringing it to the 58 unit inventory it stands at today.

They need water sites

[@JCharlesoutdoors]

Hi, thank you for watching. I appreciate your comment. I think that when they designed this campground, they wanted to keep people off the water for conservation reasons, there were a few sites i.e. site 47 which has a path leading down to the lake, but the campsite was way up on a hill draining away from the lake . I could recommend Fish Creek pond campground in Saranac region of the Adirondacks. They have over 300 sites mostly all on the water or the creek. I did a site tour and camping video from that campsite. Highly recommend you check it out if you haven't already it's a very popular one.
