When it comes to New York, you’ll find that dreamy waterfront restaurants are a category of attractions in which we’re far from lacking. Heading out to the shorelines of Lake Erie, Lake Ontario or any of the Finger Lakes are always great options when it comes to searching for marvelous restaurants. But take a trip up north to the Adirondacks and you’ll find that surrounding some of our favorite lesser-known lakes are some of the best eateries that you’ll ever visit.
Giving you an even greater motivation to leave no stone unturned, secluded waterfront restaurants like this one will have you wanting to explore more of the Empire State. Prepare to feel hungry!
Up in the central area of the Adirondacks where you're surrounded by nothing but the beautiful wilderness, the Big Moose Inn is one of the most charming waterfront restaurants.
With so many bodies of water in all various shapes and sizes, us New Yorkers get spoiled with having so many waterfront attractions and restaurants to choose from. Up north in the Adirondacks you can find so many delicious waterfront restaurants, but not all of them will remain open during the winter!
Sitting right along Big Moose Lake (which may or may not be haunted - you decide), this restaurant has been around for generations and is a historic gem.
Giving you a pristine view of the lake, the inn's history dates all the back to the early 1900s. With such a long history, you'll find that generations of families have long been coming here to dine and spend the night. The inn itself has a total of 16 guest rooms that are all nothing short of cozy.
