Maroun is quick to note he is not trying to diminish or detract from the town-run Little Wolf Beach and Campground on Little Wolf Pond. Once these people walk uptown and see restaurants and a movie theater, they would decide to spend the night, he added. The latter is an Adirondack-themed playground built in 2014 in adjacent Flanders Park as part of this waterfront master plan. Then they would go to McDonald’s or watch a ballgame, or play in Little Loggers Park,” he said. “Families with kids would see water and a beach, and they are going to want to stop.
His plan is to keep visitors who are driving on state Route 3 here for the night. “It would draw people in, and I will push for it as long as I am around,” he said. The addition of a municipal beach on a main thoroughfare will translate into overnight stays, especially with a park full of amenities and nearby hotels, he said. He noted nearby Adirondack towns have beaches in their town centers like Lake Placid and Long Lake.
