ALTONA, N.Y., June 22, 2026  — Tucked away in the scenic countryside of northern Clinton County, Feinberg Park Campground offers visitors a chance to experience one of the Adirondack Coast’s hidden gems.

Following recent improvements to campground facilities and infrastructure, the Town of Altona is inviting campers, families, outdoor enthusiasts, and travelers to discover a destination that combines outdoor recreation, local history, and small-town charm. Located just minutes from the Canadian border and a short drive from Plattsburgh, Feinberg Park features wooded campsites, playgrounds, sports courts, open green spaces, and convenient on-site food service, all set within a peaceful natural setting.

In 2024, the park expanded its recreational offerings with the addition of a walking trail that winds through the property, providing opportunities for exercise, wildlife viewing, and a closer look at the area’s natural beauty. The trail has quickly become a favorite feature for both campers and local residents.

History lovers will also find something special at Feinberg Park. The property is home to the remains of the historic McGregor Powerhouse and hydroelectric dam, an impressive early twentieth-century engineering project built along the Little Chazy River. The stone ruins stand as a reminder of the region’s industrial heritage and create a unique backdrop for visitors exploring or staying in the park.

“Feinberg Park offers so much more than a place to camp,” said Brady Smart, interim Town Supervisor. “Whether you’re looking to enjoy the outdoors, walk the trails, learn about local history, grab a bite to eat, or simply spend quality time with family and friends, there’s something here for everyone. We’re proud to continue investing in this community asset and welcoming visitors to experience everything Altona has to offer.”

From weekend campers and seasonal guests to history enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers, Feinberg Park offers an affordable, family-friendly escape where nature, recreation, and history come together in one memorable setting. As travelers increasingly seek authentic outdoor experiences, Feinberg Park continues to stand out as a place to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the beauty of New York’s North Country.

Reservations for campsites and seasonal stays are available through the Town of Altona.
