I was fortunate enough to ski into the Boreas Ponds once this winter. It’s a 6.7 mile ski one way to the dam.

Since 1902, the Keene Valley Country Club or K.V.C.C. has been a summertime gathering place for relaxation, sport, and community for area residents and their guests. Located in the heart of the hamlet of Keene Valley, NY K.V.C.C. is situated on the banks of the Ausable River and surrounded by the Adirondack high peaks. The Keene Valley Country Club is also significant under Criterion C: Architecture, as the clubhouse and contributing buildings and site are unusually well preserved, and retain much of the original fabric, and layout, little has been added or changed since 1902.

Wetlands of Saratoga County New York
Acknowledgments THIS BOOKLET I S THE PRODUCT Of THE work of many individuals. Although it is based on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's National Wetlands Inventory (NWI), tlus booklet would not have been produced without the support and cooperation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Patrick Pergola served as project coordinator for the wetlands inventory and Dan Montella was project coordinator for the preparation of this booklet. Ralph Tiner coordi nated the effort for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). Data compiled from the NWI serve as the foun dation for much of this report. Information on the wetland status for this area is the result of hard work by photointerpreters, mainly Irene Huber (University of Massachusetts) with assistance from D avid Foulis and Todd Nuerminger. Glenn Smith (FWS) provided quality control of the interpreted aerial photographs and draft maps and collected field data on wetland communities. Tim Post (N.Y. State D epartment of Environmental Conservation), John Swords (FWS), James Schaberl and Chris Martin (National Park Ser vice) assisted in the field and the review of draft maps. Among other FWS staff contributing to this effort were Kurt Snider, Greg Pipkin, Kevin Bon, Becky Stanley, and Matt Starr. The booklet was reviewed by several people including Kathleen Drake (EPA), G eorge H odgson (Saratoga County Environmental Management Council), John Hamilton (Soil and W ater Conserva tion District), Dan Spada (Adirondack Park Agency), Pat Riexinger (N.Y. State Department of Environ mental Conservation), Susan Essig (FWS), and Jen nifer Brady-Connor (Association of State Wetland Nlanagers). -
