Well then join us every Saturday in July and August.
Get your entry form at the ticket window before the 11am train. It's free you know! Then let the quest begin. You'll be given clues at different locations around Saranac Lake. Write down the secret letters at each clue location. After you have collected all the letters, unscramble them to spell the location of the treasure. I didn't say it would be easy. There is no charge to play the treasure hunt. You can only play if you leave on the 11am train from Lake Placid. |
