Food Scene

The 1844 House is our favorite restaurant in the area. Fine dining. The restaurant is built into an old home built in - you guessed it - 1844. You can also check out their early-bird special from 4:30pm - 5:30pm.

Above average Mexican food. Ask to sit on the rooftop or balcony if the weather is cooperative. You will enjoy the dining and a great view of downtown Potsdam and the Raquette River. There are 72 steps to get to the rooftop (we prefer the balcony, which is right over the river).

Entertainment & Activities

Water theme park and children's rides. The park was originally called the Enchanted Forest and still has rides for toddlers to enjoy. An old train ride, and plenty of rides for small children to enjoy. The water rides are from toddler up to adults. Pick a hot day, because the park is in the middle of the Adirondack mountains, and it is always cooler there.
