Ticonderoga Beach Pavilion

Located along Lake George, in the town of Putnam, this project was completed in 2008. Through a capital grant secured by Senator Betty Little, the LGA funded construction of a new Ticonderoga Beach Pavilion. The lake-friendly building uses low-flow water fixtures, a Sloan water free urinal, natural lighting and low-energy electrical fixtures. It’s smaller than the previous beach house, so it has less impact on stormwater and less visual impact. It also offers a spectacular view down the lake looking at Rogers Rock.

The old dilapidated beach house had an outdated septic and leach field that may have been a possible source of pollution. The completion of the new pavilion coincided with the construction of the new sewer line along Black Point Road. Consequently, the facility is tied into the new sewer line eliminating any chance of the leach field as a source of pollution. It also has a well for potable water that was approved by the New York State Dept. of Health. Outside of the building, the LGA, in conjunction with the Ticonderoga Kiwanis Club and Becket-Chimney Corners campers, created a rain garden with native plants. The garden was placed to capture some of the runoff from the building and is maintained by the Ticonderoga Garden Club.

Interpretative signage, funded by International Paper, teaches the public about protecting Lake George and how the actions we take in the watershed affect water quality.

The Pavilion was constructed by E F Nolan Building Contractors.
