I spent a long weekend in Tupper one Spring at a tournament with my son. I felt the town was depressed and in need of economic development. It's a beautiful area but it is obviously hurting. We had to drive to Lake Placid for decent dining. The Adirondacks like much of UpState NY are hurting.
Have you visited lately? Tupper Lake has really stepped their game up. The lake park area looks great, raquette river brewing, the woodshed, and amado's are awesome places to eat.
@@JasenLawrence I hope they become a great thriving area. Upper NY State has been in decline for many decades. NY in general is suffering. Tupper has natural beauty to offer but NY Government is working against it.
If a person wants privacy and natural surroundings, it is hard to beat the Adirondacks. I have read that is one of the few areas where nature and people live in harmony. When I reflect back on growing up there I realize how fortunate I was.
I was born in Tupper Lake 1960. Moved to LA in 1965 Never have been back. I hope too for my bucket list. My Dad is buried there, I need to pay my respect.

There is something new and exciting every month! Come visit in the summer for warm weather, swimming, fishing, hiking, biking, and plenty of restaurants in town. You can catch some stargazing in some scenic spots!
My precious mom was born in Tupperlake I have many of my ancestors there still❤️ Dorothy Irene Pickering daughter of Ora pearl Drew and Herbert Joseph Pickering
I used to live there now I have been gone for twenty years during my service in the military. But I have gone back for vacations and to visit family that still lives there and one of the biggest problems with this town is there is with the exception of Sunmount there is no real work there that pays enough to live on. Even that is stretching it in most cases. They need some industry in there that has some longevity. Not these couple years businesses then shut down because they can't sustain the income they need to keep a business running successfuly. I love the area and wanted to retire there but the job market there is no good to keep a sustained quality of life. But for a visit or Vacation it's nice.
That's pretty much true across the state and across the country. Kettle Corn and Breweries are not industry. We need to produce/make a product to save an economy. Like most small towns that have been hit with Progressive Globalist brainwashing, they will learn the hard way that "diversity" doesn't pay the bills. As a matter of fact, in my area where they stepped on our necks and forced us into radical diversity, things are going downhill faster. And btw, diversity leads to evaporating of Christianity because Christian morals are considered hate. So...good luck with that Tupper Lake.
This is a beautiful place. Was there and I'd like to come back soon. Anybody who visits there I'm sure they will return. My friend had me there and i didn't want to leave. If you see or know my friend I'd like to come back and visit there. His name is Rick Peliquin. I would love to tell him thank you so much.you have a good person who realy loves Tupperlake. Have a blessed day. I'm from Aurora, Indiana. I'm telling all my friends to come visit.
Wow, the color is vivid, great shots of my hometown. Thanks for posting. I grew up on the shore of Simon Pond near the Rod and Gun Club. Dad got us a season pass to Big Tupper the year it opened. Sad to see what has happened to Tupper Lake in general. Practically a ghost town now with every other house for sale, it seems. Ski slope severely limited operation, if any at all. Industry gone, save for Sunmount. Held hostage to the hopes of development on the mountain. Big money rules.
Great video of my hometown. My dad lived in Tupper all his life. We moved into the home he built about 1950. The house was built on the shore of Simon Pond! Please don't call it Simond Pond or Lake Simond or Lake Simond Road, the signs are wrong, the internet maps are wrong. The only correct road sign is at the beginning of the Gaze Road. It is Simon Pond Road, thank you. Seems there was a man last name Simon in the early days of Tupper Lake. Interestingly some old maps list it as Tupper's Lake.
Rob Frenette, my hat's off to you. I opted to laminate my ribs and use cedar because I live in Wisconsin and was lacking the spruce knees. However, I did get the nod from John Seaman, who is Howard Seaman's son. He has the boat he used to race and his "fancy boat", here in Wisconsin. Both are astounding examples of craftsmanship. Sure would appreciate any feedback you might have on the boat I built. You can see my video at, "Making an Adirondack Guideboat". By the way. My name's Rob also.
Love l-o-v-e LOVE the slides but really dislike the music (sorry). Vocalist voice was far from appealing to me. To meet a more rounded audience, promotional videos should probably have instrumental music -- check out the instrumentals that FaceBook's uses for their annual videos everyone is posting.
