Lake Champlain bass fishing is top notch particularly in the Ticonderoga area. The Bassmasters chose Lake Champlain as their "Champion's Choice" site of one of their 2007 Bassmaster Elite Series bass fishing tournaments. The launch and weigh-in was in Plattsburgh NY, but those participants in the know drove their boats down the lake 60 miles to fish the Ticonderoga area of the lake. The tournament winner, Timmy Norton, ended his fishing just after 7AM with his limit on the final day with an impressive 4 day total weight of 83lbs 10 oz.

The pros know what we've known for a long time and that's that Southern Lake Champlain bass fishing is a great fishery. They found it was well worth sacrificing some of their bass fishing time to make the 60 mile run to the Ticonderoga area of the lake. But you won't have to.

By staying at our Best Western Plus Ticonderoga Inn and Suites you can forget the 60 mile boat ride the pros had to take. Our Ticonderoga hotel is located only 2 miles from the Lake Champlain Ticonderoga boat launch and all this great fishing. So make your reservations, get your boat and invite a friend and enjoy our regions outstanding fishing opportunities.

Rogers Rock climbing, up Rogers Slide. For the more adventurous visitor, our area offers excellent rock climbing on Rogers Slide. Rogers Rock appears unclimbable from the waters of northern Lake George which is the starting point for this climb. The slab comes out of the water depths and goes up for about 700 feet. Some climbers consider it "the best low-angled face climbing anywhere in the country."

The easiest access is made by canoe or kayaks to the bottom of the face. Canoes can be rented from Brookwood RV Resort a family campground located just north of Rogers Rock on Rt 9N.

 

Maybe your interest in activities is just to kick back and take it slow and easy. Well we have some suggestions for that as well. Take a walk in the park and enjoy the waterfalls and covered bridge. Enjoy a concert under the tent or take a scenic drive along Rt. 9N. Or you may just want to relax by our indoor heated pool. Whatever your choice the friendly staff at Best Western Plus Ticonderoga will help you find the activity that is just right for you.
