Facility Overview
The Lake Lot at 822 Lake Avenue (NY-9N) serves as a convenient and accessible open-air surface parking area in the scenic town of Lake Luzerne, New York. Positioned along the eastern perimeter of picturesque Lake Luzerne and situated within the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains, this parking facility accommodates both locals and outdoor enthusiasts visiting the town’s waterfront areas and historic hamlet. As an open-sky, level-grade lot without overhead structures or clearance bars, it provides virtually unlimited vertical height clearance, comfortably accommodating compact cars, family-sized SUVs, pickup trucks, camper vans, and vehicles equipped with roof racks, kayak carriers, or bicycle mounts.
