Gurney Lane Pool - 6 Miles from Downtown Glens Falls

Part of the attraction of living in the Glens Falls region is that it offers far more to do than meets the eye! A perfect example: The Gurney Lake recreation facility just off Exit 20 of the Adirondack Northway in Queensbury NY!  This hidden gem is one of those ‘off the beaten path’ destinations that is a surprise and a delight for visitors and families looking for something to do while in the Glens Falls area.
